Everytime i launch cubase, it scans all my plugins, it took about 1 minute and a half.
Trashing prefs didn't work.
Already google'd it and looked around cubase forum.
I know 1 minute and a half sounds like nothing but it's too much while working with different daws and having to jump from one to another

It's suppose to scan the plugins.Mine takes way longer than that because I have alot of plugins it has to scan. The more plugins Cubase has to look for the longer it takes. That's been my experience anyway.

Well it doesn't scan bundles, it scans all plugins separate, it's hell.
Pro tools scans bundles and not all plugins inside of a bundle.

I think I get it. It's scanning like it does when you first install Cubase.. Any and everything. I've had that problem before too but I think I did a reinstall if I remember correctly.

Yeah it scans plugins like if it was always the first time.
Reinstall didn't help either .................

Is your system time/date set correctly?

???

Yep.

Only ask as whenever the clocks go back/forward the scan happens. Otherwise trashing prefs causes it so maybe it's to do with write permissions on your prefs folder.
UAC disabled?

Did you try Updating the Plugins inside of Cubase?

Never did that, could you explain?

In Cubase go to:

Devices
Plug-in Information
VST Plugins TAB
Update
and also, Update Plug-in Information.

Most likely, you have a TON of plugins there

*IF your bouncing around other DAWs, you can leave Cubase open there. Just go into Cubase and set it to Release Audio Driver in the Background. When you open another DAW, Cubase will let go of the audio driver so you can work the other DAW. Just an idea

Thanks I'll try that and see what happens

[Treva]

Nothing changed, still scanning all plugins ..............

What does your plugin list look like? Im only loading up WAVES 9 here, Ozone 5 and Melodyne. Its pretty quick here. Whats your computer specks?

Leave Cubase open and try the other thing a I said by opening another DAW

It looks like a list of plugins

Can't see its specks now.

It doesn't release audio driver, whatever i try to open(even audio player), it says bad audio.

No crack here.
They don't know the answer, I saw a lot of members asking about it, even google shows a lot of threads about it in different forums, nobody knows how to stop that scanning and why it happens.
Well it's only 1.30 minutes.........................

If it makes you feel better, I ask the SAME question. When I open Logic, StudioOne, Reaper, BAM, everything is there in a flash. With Cubase, it takes a minute

Well CU here in portuguese(the same sound as boo but wit c) means butthole so cubase = butthole base

It only happens to me when I do a improper Windows shut down.or if my daw is off for a few days.

My Cubase startup to the project assistant with lots of plugs is around 12 seconds.

Only when the full scan happens a few times a year....after updates, daylight saving, trashed prefs does it take over a minute.

Go to your Appdata folder. Find your VST2xPlugins Cubase.xml
What is the date modified date it is showing?

Delete it.

Now open Cubase....you will get the full scan and you should see a newly created xml of the same name.

Open it in a txt reader and check the contents to get an idea of how much is in there.

Close it and then close Cubase.

Does the xml modified by date update itself on closing Cubase?
Do the contents still look the same?
