Cubase 11 Pro EQ

The Channel strip EQ (in blue) is on every time I start a new track withC ubase 11 Pro. Can I disable it in a way that by default, it starts EQ off every time I start a new track?

Thanks

Save as a template with the eq turned off.

I can save any track in template and recall it but every time I start or open a new track in the project the Channel strip EQ (in blue) is on . Am I missing something? Any other suggestion?
