C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 11_64\PluginManager.xml

 

Looked there did not See C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 11_64\PluginManager.xml

 

can't you just wildcard search *.xml and then sort?

 

there are lots of .XML files and no Preset manager i believe I have to make my own collection to generate the xml flie so that it can edited

 

Oh wow.... look the xml is created each time you start Cubase, you can delete it, it will simply reappear on the next restart, once Cubase has time to scan the plugin folder. You might lose all your customisation, but the point is you don't need to create it Cubase does. If you don't have one you either,
1. have never started Cubase.
2. Have not told it where your plugin folder is, but even then it should pick up the VST3's
3. You don't have a working copy of Cubase...

BTW the folder with the .xml can be simply found by using the folder shortcut in the Steinberg menu entry, called User Settings Data Folder
