Audio Hardware Setup! Now it's there, now it's not!

Today Cubase “Unexpectedly Quit (i.e. crashed)” during the normal “Quit” sequence

When I relaunched Cubase, I experienced a “frozen” Project Assistant! After a couple of minutes (while I was preparing to write this), it worked again.

Once again the Hardware settings were gone, and I had to waste time reinstalling “TOOLS for MR V1.7.7” with the required reboots.

This is proof that a Cubase crash has the same effect as a force quit. It’s very easy for the Steinberg engineers to replicate this problem. Just force quit Cubase when it reaches the Hub!

Steinberg has ignored this problem for years! When will Steinberg fix this? I must say, I agree with AlakaLazlo.
