    on closer inspection I found that there is a problem finding most of the VST3, I have specified the Common Files\VST3 folder but it doesn't find them..... Anyone having the same problem?

    Are your 3rd party VST3’s 64bit and in the following folder " C:\Program Files\Common Files\vst3 " ?

    Try installing any VST3 plugin in that folder.

    I know they are in that folder I have quite a few VST3 installed in there, but Cubase 12 doesn't detect them.

    The same Problem here…Cubase 12 does NOT SCAN
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 !

    The only VST3 Folder scanned is
    C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 12\VST3

    So I created a new folder in
    C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 12\VST3

    and made a symlink to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

    Now it works. For all: Search for a program called JunctionMaster Pro by Bitsum (can’t post links here), with it you can make symlinks.

    How to Fix Blacklisted Plugins in Cubase 10


    Re-setting the Cubase plug-ins cache manually Print
    Modified on: Tue, 12 Jan, 2021 at 3:12 PM
    https://acusticaudio.freshdesk.com/...re-setting-the-cubase-plug-ins-cache-manually


    Windows and VST3 format:

    Close Cubase.
    Press Windows key plus R.
    Enter “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 11\Cubase Pro VST3 Cache\” (without the quotes), and click on OK.
    Manually delete the vst3blacklist.xml file (to delete the blacklist).
    Manually delete the vst3plugins.xml file (to force a complete plug-in to rescan).
    Re-open Cubase.

    After deleting the plug-ins cache files, on the next run, Cubase will re-scan all of your VST2/VST3 plug-ins, and depending on the number of VST2/VST3 plug-ins installed, the process may take several minutes.

    and to add to that
    Cubase will, as soon as one plugin misbehaves, blacklist it/them again.
    when that happens, just go to the plugin manager and, de- Blacklist it again
    happened with a few arturia fx on my end.

    The VST3 update solved the problem. "I want to tell those who installed''VST_Transit_64bit'' To uninstall it because it may cause Cubase to crash or slow down.

    I have about 20-30 more plugins blacklisted but I attribute it to 32 bits, I read somewhere that Cubase 12 doesn't accept 32 bits VST. :)

    Cubase does not support 32 bit plugins anymore. Quite an audacious decision.
    You can just move the 32 bits to use them in another DAW !

    Yes, there is a lot of good stuff in 32 bits that isn't in 64 bits unfortunately.

    Just sharing my experience, in case someone finds it useful:

    I installed the 12.0.0 V.R. version because it appeared first in the sister site. It was running without any problems, apart from a message I was rarely getting at the start that Cubase didn't shut down properly (even though it did).

    Then I installed the 12.0.10 V.R. (without uninstalling the previous one) and now I'm experiencing this:
    Cubase suddenly shuts down (the window disappears as it never existed) which is, of course, frustrating.

    But I'm not gonna ditch this version, nor I want to start (or continue) a V.R./R2R war. Here are my thoughts:

    - I'm on Win 10 20H2 - which is officially not supported by Steinberg and maybe this update is more picky to that.

    - I stopped running Cubase in Administrator Mode, because I couldn't drag n drop audio files from the explorer right into the project (I had to do this only via Pool, which was PITA), so that may cause the stability issue. (?)

    - This issue appears in specific projects, so that may be a conflict caused from a plugin (I recently installed the Digitalis from Aberrant, which is in 1.0 version, so that may be an early bug).

    - Maybe I should have uninstalled the previous version and done a clean install for the 12.0.10. (?)

    I'm still investigating it, but any opinions are more than welcome :)

    I have found both versions eminently usable despite my disappointment with cubase as a DAW.

    If you read the enclosed NFOs, i.e. the installation instructions, and stick to them, you will clearly live a
    more stress-free and error-free life. In other words, those who can read are clearly at an advantage.

    Steinberg Cubase Pro 12 v12.0.10-R2R

    * No SteinbergLibraryMangager is required (optional).
    * No SteinbergActivationManager is required.
    * Loads faster than legit version.
    * No compatiblity issue with other legit Silk and Silk powered apps.

    Read included R2R.txt to see how to install.

    I agree with that, but I don't find any connection between the one you quoted and your answer. Care to elaborate?
