In the last month, i have no Problems with my cubase. I changed nothing. Yesterday i worked with my cubase, today i will start my software, but cubase hangs on startup at Initializing Midi Device Manager? I dont know, whats the reason. Have anyone a solution?
Did you do anything with the Midi Device Manager?
Anyway, no need to trash all prefs, just rename the folder Panels in the prefs to eg _Panels and see what that will do.
