Cubase 10 doesn’t boot. Actually, the splash screen disappears at the very first second.
I’m on Windows 7 64bit. There’s already Cubase 8.5 installed, which worked like a charm until Cubase 10 installation. I figured out that it was the new Groove Agent SE that was causing a conflict. So, anyway, after uninstalling Groove Agent, Cubase 8.5 turned back to normal.
In order to check whether Cubase 10 and 8.5 come along or not, I completely uninstalled Cubase 8.5, deleted preferences, cleaned up registry etc. and then installed Cubase 10 again. Cubase refused to boot.
I finally figured out what the issue was, so I’m writing here in case some else is interested:
You have to install ALL the Windows Updates, even those that are marked as Optional (there were just two of them that weren’t installed - and eventually appeared to be Crucial) and then run Cubase always as Administrator.
