Cubase 7.0.7 Side Panel No Longer Functional On Windows 10

Okay, here's the deal. My C drive is 1.35 TB full. 560 GIG of that is in my documents folder. So tell me, what am I supposed to do with all that stuff?

Ah, well there's the problem. Your documents folder contains YOUR DATA, which has nothing to do with running the operating system. Therefore it can be easily stored on another drive or partition. A symbolic link to a different location would solve that problem.

But if my math is correct, you have another 575 GB of stuff on your C: drive.... Even that is what I'd consider a ridiculous (and clearly, unmanageable) size for any system partition, much less 1.35 TB! By dumping all apps and data alike onto your system drive, you have done yourself a huge disservice if for no other reason than you can't do a system backup image in a reasonable amount of time.

I would suggest sitting down and mapping out a plan to offload all of your data: You would keep your necessary application programs installed, but move all data files to a different partition or physical drive. As mentioned, some or all of that can be done through symbolic links.

The result will be so much more manageable, and with the ability to run regular backup images, it might be the most important upgrade you've ever done for your setup!

I've done imaging. In fact, that's how I went to my SSD drive. The problem with imaging is that every time you make a significant change (like installing a program) you have to reimage, otherwise the last image won't have that program. Now, put this off for the installation of 20 programs and then you have a real pain on your hands having to reinstall all those programs.

Why is this not a great solution? Because creating an image, depending on how much stuff is on your computer, takes hours. Sometimes a whole day. This is not something I want to constantly be doing, especially since I am constantly adding things to my computer.

Case in point, on Dec 24, 2010, this computer and Cubase were working fine. 1 week later, it's not. What if my last image was in July? I mean how often are you supposed to keep creating images of your system?

Macrium Reflect supports incremental backups, so the first backup will be one big image file, and the upcoming backups contain only the changes.
