If you click on this and bring up the vol control and move it a bit it should clear.
Also you could instead evoke task manager cntr alt del and tab to services and start there .
Pretty certain that this is a false message anyway. it is in fact running, just that windows reported it as not before it got up and went late in the start up routine

The above is for W7 as I don’t run W10 but I suspect it is the same.

thanks Mike for the input.

Yes, the little red circle was there as you state. But it would not go away by adjusting vol.

And Yes, the WAS was still "enabled" according to the Services page. But no message said it was not running. BIAB error message said it could not be opened. All sounds were dead until I reinstalled the ASIO from my audio device.

Maybe just me with this system. If I find time I will tell you about the new DAW I am currently building. It is sitting right next to the older one and up and running now. It will take a bit of time to transfer software over with all the licencing requirements. I am working on that now in between writing, producing and recording my OPUS. grin
