This is the most annoying bug for me. It has been in Cubase since around version 7 and still not fixed. On larger projects Cubase doesn’t close on exit, just hangs, I noticed the memory doesn’t get unload when this happens.
This is extremely annoying especially when I need to close one project and reopen another with a client sitting next to me.
It’s about time this gets fixed. This is ridiculous to ignore this bug for so long.
It doesn’t even have to be a large project. For me it happens also very often!
Cubase just doesn’t close properly, instead it freezes and I have to kill it with the task manager. I’m afraid that some day it will corrupt an important project file or something while doing it.
PLEASE FIX IT!

For me, This problem is caused by my MOTU Micro Lite USB midi interface hanging. This is intermittent of course. If I unplug the Micro Lite Cubase will shut down as expected. I can also recreate this with the Midi-OX app. So maybe something else is causing Cubase to hang. Probably worth a moment of thought anyway.
Did you get any resolution for this? I am on C14 now, and have noticed a similar behaviour on startup occasionally but not predictably. Cubase hangs hub init until I unplugged either my older ESI M8U or the slightly newer and class-compliant ESI M8U XL.
Hi,
Are you on Mac or Windows, please?
If you are or Windows, use ProcDump to generate a DMP file. Put the file to Dropbox (or similar service) and share the link.
Please, do so everyone of you, so we can see, if the hang is at the same area or different areas.
Generate a DMP file and share it via Dropbox or a similar service, please.
Use the Microsoft ProcDump utility to generate a DMP file, please.
-
Please download ProcDump64 from Microsoft (~650kB) and extract the archive to a local folder on your hard disk.
-
Run Command Prompt (cmd) as administrator (right click and select “run as administrator”)
-
Navigate (in the Command Prompt) to the folder with the extracted procdump file.
For example:
cd C:\ Users \ \ Downloads \ Procdump
Note: the dmp file will be written into that folder. -
Launch Cubase/Nuendo. You can work as usual. At any time, change to the command prompt and start procdump, to monitor Cubase/Nuendo for unexpected behaviour (see next step).
-
Launch procdump64 via Command Prompt:
Cubase 14:
procdump64 -e -h -t Cubase14
Nuendo 14:
procdump64 -e -h -t Nuendo14
The -h option will write a dmp file in case of an application hang. This might kick in too early sometimes, in case some action takes a little longer. Feel free to skip the “-h” option, if you are only up for fetching crashes.
The option -e will catch exceptions and the option -t terminations of the application.
- Prodump is now monitoring the Cubase/Nuendo process and will write a crash log, in case Cubase/Nuendo crashes or hangs. Perform the action that causes Cubase/Nuendo to crash and send us the generated crash dmp.
ZIP and share the DMP file via Dropbox or a similar service, please.
