Computer freezes when 14 pro tries to activate vst2

Each time I go to plug-in manager and want to use vst2 plugins, as soon as I ‘hit the button’ for this purpose , my entire computer freezes. I have to turn everything off and back on again, reloading the program etc. How to fix is my request.

Hi, same problem here - and no, unfortunately this article is worthless :-))

Yeah, just trying to help. I haven’t used VST2’s in years, and have had to move on from the ones I wanted where vendors won’t update, which is pretty sad. Even new ROLI purchases of Cypher2 and Strobe2 are VST2 and they are still actively selling them (which blows my mind).

Oh well.
