Hello,

you find the explanation/solution here: https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/13338094735762-Error-message-on-Windows-MMCSS-priority-cannot-be-set-

Another similar discussion is here: Cubase 13 - "MMCSS priority cannot be set!"

Hope it helps.

For me, setting the threads to 64 with steinberg tool fixed it.

Does this only affect midi performance?

The problem or the fix/work-around?

The problem affects general performance and reliability - Cubase 12 crashed or froze instead of displaying that message, or could have scheduling issues due to not being able to set the correct thread priority, while the work-around applies to all applications using MMCSS.

Hi Fabio…

I am still getting the MMCSS error message… quick question:
I am running a 14900K which has 32 threads… is there any difference in setting the utility to 64 threads or higher?
