After changing to one of the CbB supplied themes, did you shut down and restart the DAW?

Starting with 2022.06. if the CbB "add-ons" have never been installed, running a manual check for update prompts to install them. Most of the "add-ons" were part of previous versions of SONAR. The manual check for updates looks for registry entries made by the CbB "add-on" installers. Of course, the SONAR installers did not update this part of the registry. The only true update is the return of local help. I let all the "updates" run just so they won't popup again unless there actually is an update.

For additional MIDI loops, I was going to suggest BandLab Assistant but noticed BandLab removed all the MIDI loops from BA in April 2022. The good news is BandLab still makes the loops available for download here.

That's right because muting take lanes is not the same as muting clips. "Hide Muted Clips" works at the clip level. Since the introduction of take lanes there have been a couple of requests to change the granularity of the PRV and hide function in the PRV.

The piano roll works at the track level. To see one lane at a time, mute the clips in all the other lanes and enable "Hide Muted Clips" in the PRV View menu. To see one clip at a time, mute all the other clips in the track and enable "Hide Muted Clips" in the PRV View menu.

Use a different delimiter in the track name, a dash, an underscore or a space. A faction like 1/1 or even 1\2 (or other illegal file name characters like a question mark or pipe) may be used because they are automatically converted to underscores. Avoid dots in any name that may be used by an export process unless the dot is used specifically to separate the file name from a file extension. Here is a thread experiencing a similar issue with dots in project names

Importing a MIDI file into an existing project strips some data, by design. Opening (File > Open) a MIDI file does not strip any data from the file. Here is how to transfer the data stripped during import Open both the project and the MIDI file In the MIDI file Select All Copy Special and select the data to copy Paste into the project

Cakewalk by BandLab, the reason this forum was created, is a Windows program. BandLab is browser-based app.

The actual default workspace is set by the user during the on-boarding process. Of course, this requires the user to pause, read the screen and make a decision before continuing. I doubt first time users have issues with the Basic workspace. Most, if not all, the questions where workspace is the answer come from users who believe a feature has been removed from CbB.

When a documented feature (such as surround) appears to be missing, review your workspace setting and change the setting to one that supports the feature, create a new workspace setting or set workspaces to None.

then set their duration in the Event Inspector module.

For now... CTRL+Drag the plug-in to the new FX rack. Select and copy the automation in the old track then paste it into the new track. Delete the plug-in from the old track.

Behringer offers ASIO4All on the UM2 web page. ASIO4All is a wrapper for WDM drivers. The device itself is class compliant so it should work with WASAPI on Win10/11. Class compliant audio devices used WDM prior to Win10.

Might as well keep the software. It cannot be resold or registered.

The 32bit VST format was a separate purchase. The purchased version also included the DX format. The 32 and 64bit DX format were bundled with some versions of SONAR for years.

I don't have the VST to test. It is a 32bit plug-in. If it has any registry entries that need modification, they would be under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node look for an "rgc:audio software" folder. Then it is not trying to write to a protected area of the registry. When Pentagon was released, users had full control over HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\rgc:audio software\DXi\Pentagon I. The permissions for this area of the registry changed with Vista requiring the user to run the DAW as administrator or modify the registry.

Unfortunately, Behringer did not create a driver for the UM2. Their website only offers ASIO4All for this device. This is why the OP, in their other thread, was told to use one of WASAPI modes.

I created the image above in 2017 for this thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/How-do-I-get-my-Sonar-X1-Pentagon-I-to-install-correctly-PLease-m3661844.aspx The earliest reference I found to changing the registry was in this thread from 2015 http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=3163595&p=5 IIRC, I figured out the registry entry using Sysinternals ProcMon.

In short, when using an external audio interface with a DAW, all I/O for the DAW should be handled by the external audio interface. Forget about any audio I/O built into the laptop.

Right-click the duplicate track button and review the Duplicate Track Settings dialog Events needs to be selected to copy the audio from the source track.

This used to happen with Win7 when updates were pending. Making sure Windows was up to date, then re-installing was the fix. It also can happen when MS redistributable libraries are messed up. BandLab built a special installer for these libraries -

Here is an example of lassoing some notes in the staff view
