Yes it runs to completion. I've scanned the log. Aside from a few plugs that are old and fail, most 90+ are successful. Here's a typical result for one plug. Others look similar: LogFile: C:\Users\Bill Pearson\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Logs\VstScanSandbox.log Saturday, 13 Jun 2020, 09:50:03 Opened Log File ----------------------------- Command line: /VSTRegPerUser/VSTRegKey:"Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64"/Background/SONARHWND:9376626/ScanVst:"c:\program files\native instruments\kontakt 4\vstplugins 64 bit\Kontakt 4.dll"/ToastGuid:{475EDB57-E691-4165-AD5F-01461C97798E} Flag: VSTRegPerUser Flag: VSTRegKey:"Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64" Flag: Background Flag: SONARHWND:9376626 Flag: ScanVst:"c:\program files\native instruments\kontakt 4\vstplugins 64 bit\Kontakt 4.dll" VST to scan - c:\program files\native instruments\kontakt 4\vstplugins 64 bit\Kontakt 4.dll Flag: ToastGuid:{475EDB57-E691-4165-AD5F-01461C97798E} VSTSCAN: ******* Analyzing VST plugins...

I had tried a reset. Just tried it again. No change. Only DXis showing. Is there a file that contains or points to a menu?

Thank you both for the quick replies. Only the DXi plugs are found when I select sort by type, manufacturer, etc., which I never use. The VST scan finds all of the VSTs (2 and 3) according to the VST scan log. When I open an existing project, it no longer sees any of the VSTs, reports them as missing.

Just for starters, I'm a veteran CW user from early days and have recently switch to CBB, which been happily using until this morning. As of this morning, I no longer see any synths or plugins in the pop-up menu. I've run the VST scan multiple times, tried resetting and rerunning the scan, but no luck. None of my existing projects find any plugins at all now. Anyone have a suggestion? Many thanks.
