If you truly want to be musician and not a technician you might want to consider sticking to live shows and recording in professional studios. The DIY nature of todays music business means we all deal with tech problems, doing our own production work, learning the nuts and bolts of mic placement and DAW software. I realize it can be super frustrating, but sadly, that is true regardless of your operating system and DAW software.

Hi Noel, Thank you for getting this fix out so quickly for your users. In my world, it is pretty much impossible to get a fix out in 3 or 4 days for any piece of software (especially when the issue is being caused by code outside your control). I can't tell you how many times I've heard something like "<insert big company name> made a change and there's nothing we can do about it until they fix it" from other software companies. Your work is much appreciated.

I think we are all having a problem with MSVCP140.dll. this file is part of the MS Visual C++ redistributable. I think what's going is that some vendors have a version is considered valid when you run the System File Checker but it's not as new as Microsoft's. It looked to me like the problem goes at least to 2017. I think the simplest fix is to into your installed apps list, double click on the MS Visual C++ and click repair. Another way is to go back to a restore point (which haven't tested but is reported to fix the issue).

I had what appears to be exactly the same problem: Faulting application name: Cakewalk.exe, version: 29.9.0.120, time stamp: 0x67460249 Faulting module name: MSVCP140.dll, version: 14.29.30133.0, time stamp: 0x60ff28cc Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000000013020 Faulting process id: 0x0x8F4 Faulting application start time: 0x0x1DB4A9EFFF5FD78 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Cakewalk.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSVCP140.dll Report Id: ac01c4e5-15bb-4618-bf3e-6b21816988f9 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: In my case, I had just installed Melodyne 5 a couple days prior. It installed MS Visual C++ (it was listed in my apps list when sorted by install date just before Melodyne 5. The MS Visual C++ allowed me to repair the installation via the modify button After chosing the repair option Cakewalk opened again. I hope this helps.
