    Good evening, I've gotten 60k presets for massive but now when I try to open massive again it crashes the whole DAW/doesn't even open in standalone. Is there any way to fix this? by organizing folders or such? and to keep the 60k presets

    use your file explorer/finder to go into the directory tree and move the folders with all your presets into a new folder your Massive cannot see when you first open it. That will solve your crashing upon load problem.

    How you organize the content of that folder, it is up to how you manage your presets. It could be per genre, per pack if they came from preset packs, or whatever else.

    I have the free packs for massive on Documents\Native Instruments\Massive while for dubstep on D:/Libraries/NI/Dubstep, and for genres on D:/Libraries/NI/Genres

    So you could just either move the ones on D: to a new folder, and then launch Massive. Or rename the folder so it does not match what Massive is looking for when loaded. You haven't included the usual details like OS, or Massive version. I mention this because if your link does not update when you change the folder, you could just rename the NI folder to something else while you are testing.

    You just want Massive not loading all your 62K presets when you launch the plugin/app. Then you can get Massive open and look at your options in the settings/preferences menus.

    My bad, my os is windows 11 pro and my massive version is 1.7.0
    Following your advice it did work, so I am grateful for that! But what I want mostly is that the presets show right here so I can find them easier (and because I am used to find them like this)
