Opened bitwig 5.2 to check if a library I shrunk with lite converter worked but it just randomly rebooted and when I reopened it, the interface style was default instead of tablet, the collections bar is reset and my collections aren’t in the quick browser categories at the top despite being in the collection menu, Kontakt isn’t there and neither are some native instruments plugins even though I can see Absynth in the plugin settings list for sandboxing

I knew I had to update the portable version of Kontakt but what even happened and what can bring the hidden plugins back to the browser? I don’t know if there’s more than just the other native instruments plugins missing but I have so many plugins installed I don’t know if some would’ve gone missing till I remembered the specific plugin

 

UPDATE: Ok looks like everything is working it just reset the plugin locations and I had to point bitwig to them again, Kontakt is working again

 

If you're on windows, you can always take a look at the eventviewer (just type it in the start menu) to see what happened or what caused the crash. Just go to "custom views" -> "administrative events" and take a look for the entries with the red symbol.

 

yeah then maybe I might find out if anything weird happens in the future… did have an issue with something else earlier today but it was easily solved, it just didn’t look like the right solution and I didn’t remember where I had everything before
