    Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a great day. A few days back, I started facing this error that anytime I installed a new plugin, its facing this error, "There was a problem opening the plugin (plugin name) for an unknown reason. Please make sure it was installed correctly". I don't know why this is happening and I really need to sort this out. All the plugins are working just fine in Ableton. It;s just FL Studio that's facing this issue. I will attach screen shots as well for reference. I also saw that any time I installed a plugin, the vendor name is changed to Navie D. I bought this guy's plugin called NoteGrabber2 and since then I am facing this issue. I really need help solving this. Any help is appreciated. [​IMG]

    FL Studio frequently experiences errors during plugin scanning. Often, this is because a plugin is installed in the wrong folder or duplicates exist in the same folder. Sometimes, if plugins are not programmed correctly, FL Studio can cause errors in the assignment process.

    Try uninstalling FabFilter and deleting all remaining files, then install only VST3 or only VST2 in the following folders:

    VST3 Plug-in path:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
    32-bit VST3 plug-ins on 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3

    VST2 Plug-in path:

    C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins
    C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\VST2

    32-bit plug-ins on 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VstPlugins
