I've managed to log in fine on my home/studio PC with IE11 and simply can't get it to on my work machine. Same OS, service packs, bitness...

Flyout like the Pro Channel EQ with a small image to show what the module is?

There was a bug introduced in later versions of Platinum and/or early ones of Bandlab when using plug-in layouts, where they are no longer distinct between different areas (eg. can no longer have one plug-in view for clip effects, one for track effects and one for bus). Reduced the utility somewhat.

Set option to upgrade to manual (Help menu)? This is now mine is set and I never get a pop-up.

You're right: "smart" selection doesn't apply to the FX bin bypass menu item. Oh well - sorry.

Try this...might work but might not. Alt-click on bus to select the bus and - from memory - all tracks that feed it. Ctrl-click in one of the selected track's FX bins and disable.
