Custom Control Room preset option dissappeasred overnight

Cubase automatically creates one (and only one :wink:) Default Control Room preset, which stores the settings of the last session. These settings are re-applied the next time the application is started.

The enormous number of Default presets in your list is unusual. You can delete them manually in Audio Connections - Control Room. Or, if you are familiar with editing XML files, you can edit the ControlRoomPresets.pxml file accordingly. Preset objects begin with

<obj class="FPreset" ID="[number]">

and end with

</obj>

If Default presets continue to be added, you can try to write-protect the ControlRoomPresets.pxml file.
