I have a fairly complex studio setup with plenty of USB based MIDI instruments and controllers interacting with multiple DAWs and other programs in my studio computer (Win10 based). Some of the controllers are processed through Max8 and forwarded via virtual LoopMIDI ports, while the rest interact directly with DAWs/programs.

Max8 is always started first when booting the studio and sometimes Max8 "steals" MIDI devices from other programs (MIDI devices are suddenly "on" in Max's "Options->MIDI setup" even though they were deliberately deactivated previously). I assume this happens due to USB HUB issues/glitches and Max8 not remembering that certain MIDI devices were set to "off".

Have I overlooked something? Or is this a bug? Or do anybody know a way to solve this?

How to make Max ignore certain USB based MIDI controllers?
