Disabling the Preferences

Inconsistent Preferences settings can prevent Cubase from working properly. If you experience any issues related to this, save your project, and relaunch Cubase. Disable or delete the current Preferences, and reset the settings to the factory defaults.

Procedure

  1. Quit Cubase.
  2. Launch Cubase, and hold down Ctrl/Cmd-Alt/Opt-Shift.
  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 the preferences disabled, consider deleting and re-initializing the preferences.
