Worked seamlessly for one of my CPU unqualified laptops. Lost my destop wallpaper & custom theme for Chrome browser, but everything else is great.

Congratulations on busting your virgin cherry while using ANY kind of 'free' software.

Occam's Razor strikes again!

Well... there's your problem... gotta be really difficult to record audio directly to a Web Portal for a Forum. LOL!!!

FWIW: the days of support for DX instruments is numbered, both in the DAW and in the OS. So create a plan to salvage what you need to now. Same thing can be mentioned for any 32bit bridged plugins, and soon (I imagine) for VST2. Once software is a teenager, it usually is headed for the scrap heap.

So... one interaction with a menu command causes issues and a different operation using a GUI button works. Have you just tried the default Keyboard Shortcut <E> to open the Export dialog? And FWIW; I do scoring similar to your track count or larger, and ALWAYS render the tracks as I work, unfreezing them if further edits are necessary. Keeps the CPU load managable and the playback buffer low.

This gentleman has only been in the business about half as long as I have, but still has very interesting advice for the newbies, and the majority of those still struggling to complete that mix that you started 20 years ago. (NOT DAW Specific!)

I have a laptop that was ready for everything except the CPU being 6 months too old to make the cut. Installed Win11 (using some Registry mods) and it works perfectly, including updates. The Opensource Shell Menu was updated specifically for Win11 early last year, no issues.

I've installed <Open-Shell Menu (currently v4.4.xxx)> on all my studios machines since I left Win7 because the desktop/startmenu/contextmenu/explorer appearance was deeply engrained in my cortex. I have it set to Win7 Classic because I have absolutely hated the Metro look since it's inception. Works perfectly under Win11 pro. https://open-shell.github.io/Open-Shell-Menu/ Clients peek over my shoulder and remark that "you're still running Win7?", and I just have to giggle.

At any point in the next 28 days.

If Medicare would pay for eye exams this wouldn't be an issue.

As one that is past a certain age, I gotta tell you that as a kid in Nebraska, I watched a ball of lightning hit the pole, come down the phone wires into the house and blow the old rotary dial wall-mount Bell telephone to smithereens. So... if you think you're lucky... stick with that story.

At this point, maybe a complete clean install of CW is in order. Noel has a sticky about how to do this near the top of the forum categories.

You can rename the Aud.ini to aud.OLD and it will get rebuilt on next open of the DAW. In the registry under (IIRC) HKLM a section for ASIO (just search the reg for ASIO) and make sure that any "ASIO" named drivers for ASIO4ALL, Realtek, Nvidia HDMI etc. are deleted, reboot & restart CW. Make sure that you have the ASIO drivers for your I/F installed (Presonus or Scarlett) and try again. Interesting that you can only get 44.1SR. My 18 year old Audiobox has always been set at 48k/24b and works perfectly.
