Cubase refusing to start, stuck on "initializing midi"

hi, i’ve seen that this is quite a common issue, yet i cant figure out how to stop it.

so on booting of my computer i can open cubase fine and use it, but if i close it then i can’t open it again and it’s stuck on “initializing midi”, i’ve already tried reinstalling midi drivers etc, and i highly doubt my pc is the issue since im running 64gb of ddr5, r7 9800x3d and an rtx 5080.

i am currently using an akai mpk mini mk4.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Are you on Windows 10 or Windows 11? If you are on Windows 11, did you update the system recently?

hi, yes i did, im currently on windows 11. in addition to this i sadly can’t access any of my past projects cause they wont open :sad_but_relieved_face:
