Cubase 14 GUI in Windows is absolutely broken

After a long and depressing journey with Cubase since the beginnings: Ditch it. They will never fix window management. It’s so bad my Cubase 14 Pro will actual block the window management so badly on Windows 11 I can’t even close it with the task manager anymore because it hogs this window as well. This has bin a continuous problem whether you have one or multiple monitors. If time is money and reliability is time, Cubase is not the way to go and Steinberg’s track record indicates they do not put ressources into fixing systemic bugs like these. Not hating, just the truth.

Sounds like a breadcrumb is stuck in your keyboard.

Been there! Actually, it was a paperclip on my pen tablet.

I assume you’re joking. Cubase is the only program that does this. I’m a tech-savvy nerdy person and my workplace is pristine…

I have the SAME problem as OP (within details, absolutely the same), and it’s my second time. First it was with a laptop and 3 extra external monitors. I think I found a fix at that time but I can’t remember how. This time I have the same problem with a new high quality PC and 3 monitors. Changing Cubase.exe compatibility DPI settings makes it better, which means controllable somewhat, but the problem still exists. ChatGPT says to keep monitors to the same scale % (not resolution), which also doesn’t fix the problem though. I run Cubase 14 pro, my laptop and PC have completely different GPUs, both on Win11 home.

Just wanted to add that I’m having the same problem as OP (Cubase 14 Pro).

Also, I’m amazed at his patience with this thread. One program consistently resizing windows incorrectly while the system is otherwise stable has a vanishingly small chance of being caused solely by a GPU/BIOS/OS/etc. issue.

It’s a Cubase bug.

I’m also seeing the same tearing/distortion thing. Yes that looks similar to what a bad GPU or hardware issue can cause.

It’s not.

If Cubase is incompatible with standard GPU/Motherboard/OS setups that work perfectly with a wide range of other far more demanding software, you/they don’t get to say ‘it’s your hardware’.
