I eventually realized that Wave Profiler was starting each time with the software (somewhat hidden behind splash screen). I disabled the computer’s audio driver and voila! - the program loaded like a charm. I then went back and enabled the computer audio and now all is working well. Thanks to those who attempted to assist.

Thanks much @Bristol_Jonesey - I downloaded the repair file and it seems that per the image below I now have the five redsitribs that are required. However still no luck opening the program after uninstalling all cakewalk programs completely and then reinstalling. Pardon the novice question, but for a brand-new machine less than a month out of the box with Win 11 preinstalled, shouldn't the correct redistribs have been there? I would expect if I had upgraded the OS from Win 10 to Win 11 myself maybe they might have been messed up? Or am I missing entirely how these things get installed and how they work? The only thing I have not yet messed with is the registry? Any thoughts on whether or not I should even attempt that?

Thanks @Bristol_Jonesey for pointing me to that previous post. So from the image below it seems that I have all of the ones mentioned in the post and then some? Should I uninstall all and reinstall?

Apologies for the double post - I just inadvertently posted this on the Cakewalk Sonar forum and now realize that the Bandlab is a more appropriate location since I do not own the new Sonar software. However, I just bought a new Windows 11 computer. I was previously was able to stably run everything from X1 through CbB on my Windows 10 machine. I decided to install all of the software versions (X1 through CbB) on the new Win 11 computer to take advantage of the various plugins that came with each (although from reading posts I see that I could just as easily have installed only the plugins). As best as I can tell, everything was successfully installed. However NONE of the programs will launch. For X1, I breifly see that it is scanning. For the others, the splash screen briefly appears then nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programs several times to no avail. I am able to laucnh the plugins that come with the Cakewalk programs such as Rapture, Dim Pro, and ZETA without any issues. So it seems to be limited to just the Cakewalk DAWs themselves. I have seen posts that suggest it could be the audio interface. In my case, I think no, as this happended even before connecting an interface. Other posts suggests cleaning registry. I am not very knowledegeable about doing this so before trying it and messing things up, just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone here had similar experiences and have suggestions? My system Specsas follows: Lenovo IdeaCentre Mini PC, 13th Gen i7-13700H, 2.40GHz, 64 bit Processor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB Disk
