Cakewalk by Bandlab won't open. Had it for years

[Larry Bridges]

For some reason I try to open my Cakewalk Bandlab which I have had for years and worked yesterday will only go to the logo and search on my screen.  I installed another music program yesteday but it was working fine until today. Should I download it again and reinstall it?  (and how to do that)

If you are trying to use a desktop icon to launch, it may be pointing to an incorrect location.
Try to search the start menu for "Cakewalk by Bandlab" and then RMB to <Open file location> and try to launch the program directly from the Executable file.

The default (for most users) location is in the C:\\Program Files\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core directory.
