Cubase 13 hangs when scanning VST plugins

Since this update, C13 takes forever to open. Hangs every time on “scanning vst3 plugins” for what seems like 10 minutes. Never had this issue prior. Super frustrating! I tried a clean install, same deal.

remove the plugin the scan stops at

It hangs as soon as it starts scanning so no way to know which to remove

Same here! Running Cubase 13 for the first time after purchasing it yesterday. No way to tell which plugin causes the issue. Never had issues with Cubase 12 before (well, at least not of this kind).

Take a look at this thread for more info …
