- Trash Cubase preferences... it rebuilds itself at the next start... just for safety.

Kontakt and Superior Drummer should have multicore processing disabled in standalone and plug-in mode because ASIO Guard wants to manage it. If the plug-in also has it enabled, there are often conflicts in ASIO Guard. Omnisphere, for example, should also have multicore disabled... and the libraries on a fast drive helps also.

or:
If you select Studio > VST Plug-in Manager and click Show VST Plug-in Information, you can deactivate the ASIO-Guard option for selected plug-ins eg. Kontakt and SD3... that´s the other way to check. realtime performance goes up and ASIO Guard down


And the thing with the temperature and bifurcation ON in the BIOS and all the other things are also helping bit by bit...

ps:
And of course, very important: in the device manager - USB controller - right-click on each individual object - properties - power management - (computer can turn off the device to save energy) remove all activations per hand...one by one ----- recommended by Steinberg

hope that helps...

cheers......
