Insert Tracks Not Working

Hi, just asking a query about an inconveniece,

Using Cubase 13 pro, this weird issue with my inserts in channel settings don’t work, I simply just use mix console and move on, but accessing channel strip just gets obnoxious and pressing F3 every 2 seconds is equally as annoying.

For a while now, my inserts tracks in my edit channel settings don’t work, appearing as such when nothing is loaded:

As such when inserts are loaded:

And hovering over these inserts and right clicking them look like this

I am one to adventure with my workflow, so this results in my doing things I don’t know how to reverse. I’ve probably turned on a mixing or mastering preset or something. This isn’t contrain delay compensation as I have been advised by the (not so) good ol’ ChatGPT, and a couple backs and forths have lead my into the same wall I’ve been banging my head on for a couple months now. Channell strip works fine, accessable completely, it is just solely these inserts.

I would talk about the PC specs but I think there’s no need, but I am running Windows 11 if curious.
Would much appreciate some help,
Thanks you taking the time to read.

Just switch the tab back to “Inserts”, please.

Wow. Like 3 months and that was it. Thanks man, I feel immaculately stupid.

Please don’t.
The routing section allows some wonderful things like treating the left channel different from the right. Works for surround as well, of course. It eliminates the need to have mono and stereo versions of plugins and the need to split a stereo signal into two mono signals in order to be able to process them differently.

Thanks so much, the plus side is I’ve also taken away some mastering tips, your a legend mate.
