Default mbox pro keeps disabling every time I launch Ableton

I have to keep repairing my driver every time I launch Ableton after restarting computer to get mbox working. I hear the dreaded 'pop' and no audio.
It's never done this before and for the past 2 weeks it does it every time. Works fine with Protools

Default Re: mbox pro keeps disabling every time I launch Ableton

If you have Windows set to use the Mbox as its "default playback device", go into Settings>Sound and change that to the on-board sound card so Windows and Ableton don't compete for control of the Mbox

You also need to make sure to disable "power management" on all USB ports(for those using a USB interface or drive). Sometimes a Windows update will reset this back to ON on some/all USB ports.
