I used to enjoy that option in old Cubase versions, but now I use an AppleScript to do it. This will start Cubase without the splash screen though. Just in case you’re using mac, here it is
tell application “Cubase 9” to activate
tell application “System Events”
tell process “Cubase 9”
set frontmost to true
click menu item 1 of menu of menu item “Recent Projects” of menu “File” of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
I created an ‘applet’ to run this so that I have an icon to click on the desktop.
