    Can someone, please, help me on this issue!

    I have this r2r waves complete symlink instaler version that ran smoothly in S1 ver 4.5.1. for years.
    After I installed win 10 even though S1 sees the waves plugins and displays them all in the list, when I try to use any of them they just won't load. It starts loading (with that rotating waves logo) but in never loads.

    After I opened some of my older sessions all the waves plugin previously used are marked with red letters and doesn't work.

    I tried re-installing s1 and even installing ver 5 but still the same.

    I also tried with symlink deinstaller and cleaning everything in the registry etc. but nothing seems to work. I'm desperate and need to make this work cause I'm in the middle of a long-term project.

    Can someone, please, offer me any solution that'll make waves complete work?

    Thanks!

    why not use a non-symlink version?

    I'm thinking of doing that but wonder if the plugins are going to work properly when I open old sessions? Have anyone tried this before?

    Also, if you can suggest the version for a non-symlink version.

    Thanks

    the plugin IDs will be the same so old projects should be fine (barring waves making weird changes to individual plugins). it already isn't working, so it's not going to get any worse at least

    there was a new release within the past few days, I'd use it

    Thank you so much stopped! This actually worked like a charm, though not in s1 v4.5.1 but in 5 it works like a charm, including old sessions!
    KUDOS!
