If Cubase does not start or if a project does not load, chances are, that this is due to a third-party
plug-in. In such a case, you can disable third-party plug-ins on startup to identify, if the plug-in is
the reason.
PROCEDURE

2. Launch Cubase, and hold down Ctrl/Cmd - Alt/Opt - Shift .
3. In the Plug-Ins section of the Safe Start Mode dialog, activate Deactivate all third-party
plug-ins.
4. Click OK.
RESULT
Only Steinberg plug-ins are available after startup, and third-party plug-ins are temporarily
disabled.
