Hiya. Running C12 on W10. I’ve had some problems with it crashing on startup, but the latest upgrade seems to have solved that.
BUT
It now runs a complete plugin scan EVERY TIME I start it up. Takes anywhere up to 25 minutes . This feels fairly ridiculous for a professional product. C11 is still rock-solid and starts up fairly immediately.
Anybody have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
I think it could be a plugin that is changing something in the VST2 folders on exit.
So Cubase thinks it needs to scan the VST2 folders.
But of course, it’s just an idea.
did you guys solved it yet? I know why its taking forever to startup Vst2 Plugin Manager
Solution- Remove Native Instruments Maschine 2 Plugin also FX Plugin try to start up now
also there abit more delay for the Kontakt 5.6 if you have it on your list
I think Cubase is working normally here, and it still appears to freeze while saying “scanning” - for up to a minute and a half - on every load. Does Cubase not have the feature of other DAWs where you can turn off the scan until you add plugins to your plugin folder and want to use them?
Maybe Steinberg, who invented VSTs, knows there’s something problematic with Studio One and Ableton and FL Studio, which all have this ‘disable’ feature, more or less. Regardless, it’s a royal pain to have to wait so long to open a software package in 2023.
