Couldn’t see this topic anywhere else so…

Had a problem with Omnisphere being sent to the blacklist I sorted this by re-activating the correct dll. Now Cubase 10.5 will not start at all. It gets to the plugins and quits.

Error from event log:

I used the new ‘shift-ctrl-alt’ and launch and disabled loading of plugins and all is okay…although I now have no plugins lol. It seems Cubase 10.5 has an issue with Omnisphere 2.6. 10.0.5 is still fine and I’m using it for my critical work now.

Anyone? sigh

Problem solved! I uninstalled Bonjour which uses dnssd.dll and Omnisphere now works and Cubase Pro 10.5 doesn’t crash.

My Cubase PRO 10.5.0 worked very well since its installation (16/11/2019) to yesterday…
Suddenly today, when Cubase 10.5 is launched, the initialisation windows appears a few seconds then disappears on “Global Settings” !
But at the same time, it is still possible to launch the previous version (10.0.50) and work with it.
IMPORTANT : due to new year festivities, there was no modification on PC hardware neither software
