It doesn't. It loads your previously loaded song (I have selected this as default in prefs). Biab should open up the song manually clicked. The only way is through the file menu Z Win 11 64, Asus Rog Strix z390 mobo, 64 gig RAM, 8700k

Always the same. Anyone else?

I then double click on the song with the SGU extension, it launches BiaB and loads the song OK So everything works "fine" with BIAB, same as always.

It does load your song, but then quickly loads your previously last-saved song. Change the option in your settings for program boot up. I changed the options to as per below, and my exact same situation remained (MGU launches BiaB with song, SGU launches BiaB but no song). Every time BiaB could be closed successfully (sorry about that Jazzmandan...)

There is always a work around. 3) Working in BIAB is all about workflow. Whatever it takes to get it done. That is just how it is.

I don't think anything is a show stopper but there are many things that could be greatly improved IMHO. YMMV My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
