If I open Cubase with one project and no other windows open, I can click on the taskbar icon to bring it to the front.
If I open a second window (having the project window not in full screen or open editors or the mixer windows) Windows (the OS) is presenting a second Cubase icon.
I can set in Windows(OS) the option to group the icons always, now Windows presents just one taskbar icon, and it opens an overview of the open windows of the app if you click on it.
Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, Chrome, LibreOffice, Allen & Heath dLive Director in windowed mode, just to name the open apps at the moment.
All I can say is, that it is working as expected on my two systems I tested it today.
I click on the taskbar icon and the corresponding app comes to the front.
The first thing I would look at is your hardware driver. See if there is an update. If not, try using another DAW with it, if you have one installed, or switching to an alternative driver (ASIO4ALL, etc).
Now Cubase is performing a lot better and I can work on it. The problem for me now is that the Best Performance Power Plan has my laptop running hot all the time. The fan is running constantly to cool it. It seems that Windows 11 is a real resource drainer on my system.
I upgraded to win 11 on two machines. No problems on either. Both cubase and cakewalk run fine.
I updated my motu m4 driver and my Nvidia display driver, and made sure to disable any other audio drivers in device manager.
All good here.
On macOS only, some 3rd-party plug-in windows always open in the upper left area of the primary display, before moving to their actual positions. We will resolve this issue with the next maintenance update.
But one bug:
Windows 11/Cubase does not remember the size and position of windows on a project correctly when I shut Cubase and re-open. Specifically - I use the built-in WIn 11 snap functionality to use half my screen for my track window and then snap my mixer to the other half - all good. BUT when I re-open the project the windows have resized so that the lowest part is hidden by the windows task bar.
Not a deal breaker - but I have to re-snap the windows every time I open a project.
In terms of other comments - sure Adobe UI is great and consistent across applications. They have implemented Dark Mode very well. As an overall UI though, there is nothing very clever about e.g. Adobe Audition - and I find Adobe Premiere to be quite clunky. Photoshop is succesful because it has pretty much stayed the same over time.

Hey I did not mean to start a fire here, the new way will grow on me just like the curious floating menu did. It is just when you first save and close your project file (CTL+W) first AND THEN try to quit Cubase with some windows open you will end up in a strange shutting down scenario. Well, usually Cubase needs to be shutdown just once at the end of the day.
It needs Steinberg to sort this out properly. I want all my Cubase windows and child windows to stay right where they are, and maintain their visibility wherever I click on my multiscreen setup, including on other monitors, and on other applications, or indeed just the desktop.
When I am working in Cubase I do have sound, and when i click somewhere besides the cubase window, the sound disappears. I can also click on a youtube video and watch it, so the sound does work but just not simultaneously. Also when i play on my midi keyboard while the youtube sound is playing (and cubase therefore muted) it will play it with delay, when i return to the cubase window.
Even though I hate fruity loops, I found out that with the FL Studio ASIO you can have sound in all applications on your computer. You can just install the FL Studio Demo, and then uninstall it, without uninstalling the ASIO. Now that ASIO Driver is not the highest quality you can get, and for recording, I would always use the Generic Lower Latency ASIO Driver. But yeah, you can give it a try if you wanna watch like a YouTube sound design tutorial and follow the steps at the same time.
I used the Windows Installation Assistant ( -download/windows11) to download 22H2. After going through the upgrade process, 22H2 started up just fine. When checking Windows Update though, it wanted to install a cumulative update for 22H2, but when clicking on Download & Install for that update, it kept failing.
At first, i followed the dante instructions for routing. In dante controller, I sent the first 4 transmits from the computer to the 4 receives on the eventide and the first 4 receives on the computer to the first four transmits on the eventide. You cant send the wrong thing to each other in dante controller so the problem cant be there.
In the eventide in direct connection i sent two channels from analog to dante A and then two channels from dante A to analog. So i could have a stereo pair of records and monitor playback from cubase. This seemed to just work when using adat or usb but doesnt seem to work for me with dante.
The first thing i noticed when opening cubase 10 is that i got terrible digital feedback until either i severed the connection in direct connection or unsubscribed the transmit from the eventide to the receive of the computer. I had dante rx 1 and 2 and dante tx 1 and 2 as stereo ins and outs in cubase and got feedback as i said until i made the disconnect listed above.
What should i be doing to use the eventide and its dante card to get sound in and out of my computer properly? What ive done so far doesnt seem to be working. I feel like an idiot because in a lot of videos online, dante seems easy to setup and just work.
Thanks for the update. I had ruled out clocking issues based on your description of the digital feedback noise, since in my experience, clocking problems with Dante just cause clicks and pops, and it's good to know that isn't always the case.
I installed osc recently and try to configure it. ı also use loopmidi and rtpmidi. i ve synced them all and trying to configure it from cubase generic remote. everything looks ok and its working but i cant control it from tablet. can someone help to figure it out:/ ım new at this app and also...
As I said, osc control is not related in any way to open stage control. To use open stage control on your mobile device you need to run the server on your computer and browse to the app's address (which the server shows when it starts) using the mobile's browser.
