Disabling the Preferences

Sometimes you might experience odd program behavior that can be due to inconsistent preferences settings. In such a case, you should save your project and relaunch Cubase. You can disable or delete the current preferences settings, and load the factory defaults instead.

Procedure

  1. Quit Cubase.
  2. Launch Cubase, and hold down Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-Alt.
  3. In the Preferences section of the Safe Start Mode dialog, activate one of the troubleshooting options.

    • Use current program preferences

      Opens the program with the current preference settings.

    • Disable program preferences

      Disables the current preferences, and opens the program with the factory default settings instead.

    • Delete program preferences

      Deletes the preferences and opens the program with the factory default settings instead. This process cannot be undone. Note that this affects all versions of Cubase installed on your computer.

  4. Click OK.

After Completing This Task

If the program works fine with disabled preferences, consider deleting and re-initializing the preferences.
