why does my instruments not show up

[Gunwoo]

Hello,

I just downloaded the cakewalk DAW by following the youtube tutorials and as the video said, I tried to add an instrument but it only showed me the "Cakewalk TTS-1" and nothing else. I searched up why this is happening but non of the solution that was suggested from the internet worked. I did install the add ons, I did check the cakewalk plugin manager and I deleted and redownloaded the DAW 3 times and even made 2 new accounts and it still has the same problem. I noticed that on the plugins menu, the instrument section only shows Cakewalk TTS-1.  Why is this happening and how can I solve this? 

Thanks.

Did you run a VST scan?

I don't think I did the VST scan thing. How do I do it?

I went to the VST scan and fount c:/program files/cakewalk/vstplugins and c:/program files/common files/vst3. It should function normally if I have those right? But it still doesn't work for me.

Did you let it install to the default folders?

The Cakewalk instruments are a separate download from the main DAW download.

Look in BandLab assistant under the Apps tab. Click the dropdown arrow in the Cakewalk section beside the word "Open". Select "Install Add-ons".

I did do the whole VST scan and checked it over and over and I did also download all the add-ons but nothing seems to work out. I think something's wrong with my computer in general. I tried to use other DAWs but they showed the exact same problem. But thank you guys for the help.
