    Hi Guys,

    I've noticed a big change in 10 scanning my VST folder in full everytime I start the program.

    Is there any way to stop this?

    Cheers

    If you're on Windows then create a .txt named Options.txt and add -NoVstStartupScan then save it to C:\Users\(Current User)\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 10.0.1\Preferences or wherever your ableton preferences folder is.

    How is this an improvement to live?

    like does anyone know what the benefit is of scanning the whole plugin directory every time???

    It was working fine before!
