I’m bumping this thread because I see a bunch of recent posts asking for things to have preference options to disable them. Things like “VST connect” and the “Hub”. I’m no expert but, from what I read some of these things are activated by a .dll (maybe?). And since some op systems apparently have limits associated with .dlls, this request makes even more sense.
So, in addition to “Video Services”, I am adding the items listed below to have a preference option to disable them completely too (the kind of disabling that might even require you to restart Cubase when you change the preference):
- VST Connect
- Hub (I know there is an option to not use the “Hub” but, apparently choosing this does not stop the associated services from running)
Please add additional items as you think of them. Thanks 
Also, I am editing the post subject accordingly.
