Plugins keep opening in Control View even after I make the change in Preferences...

I'm still looking for an answer on how to get rid of this "bug":

How can I keep my plug-ins from opening in Control View when my preferences (Logic Pro X --> Preferences --> Display --> Mixer --> "Open in control View") is unchecked?

I keep getting this "warning" message that pops up every time I try to view a plug-in or insert one:

I obviously don't want this, and I click "Do not show this message again" and then Cancel because clicking "Ok" will change my preference to "Controls View".

Basically, it's as if Logic refuses to let me change it to the Editor View option despite my best efforts. I've scoured the internet for an answer to this and can't find anything short of uninstalling Logic and then reinstalling it...Which I don't want to do...

Any ideas?

Perhaps the preference file is corrupted.

In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.

Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. (note: type exactly) ----> ~/Library/Preferences

Press the Go button.

Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this.

Note: if this system has been upgraded for many years you may have an older com.apple.logic.pro.plist file in the same folder, delete that as well.

Note2: All of your custom preferences setting will be reset to defaults.

If you're not using any custom key commands don't worry about that part, the preference files will be rebuilt next time Logic starts.

No the .cs file is the control surfaces preference. All preference files will be rebuilt to defaults. Next time Logic is started. Might want to reboot the computer after deleting (or moving) the files.

I appreciate all of the feedback. I tried the removing of the com.apple.logic.pro.plist and then rebooting everything. But it didn't work. Logic is still showing that pop up and not allowing me to permanently keep the Editor View.

It must be one of your 3rd party plugins causing this.

Which plugins? All of them including Logic's plugins, or only 3rd party plugins. Third party plugins need to be updated to conform with new Apple/Logic graphics libraries.

It's happening with all of the plugins. Logic and 3rd party. I make sure all of my 3rd party are updated when updates are available. Same goes with Logic updates.
