Hello, when I want to use a plugin in Cubase or to use Grand Rhapsody Piano as stand-alone. There is a little time to wait and… nothing append. I already : - use repair - use complete cleanup - use Fix permission and ownership - clear central cache - uninstall and install everything and delete wave folder in AppData / Roaming It was a time everyting works perfectly ---

This just happened. No plugins would load in cubase. Ok one day, then wont load the next. Downloading Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 Worked. Thanks Francois. ---

Hello everyone, sorry to be late. Happy that’s works for some of you. For others do you have trying others solution in my first post? For Mac : do software on Mac use similar dependencies ? On Windows the redistribuable are often used. ---

Why did you donwload the 2012 version of the c++ redistribuable? Why not the 2015/19 version? Im on windows 10 and currently trying to fix this. I have seen there are 5 update for that 2012 version. Could you possibly send me a link to the one you used? Thanks. ---

I had problems with some others software. And they are more explicit than the plugins from Waves 😂 and which clearly asked for these redistributable. I am doing development with Unity, it may I delete by accident the redistributable. I take the first link I found (sorry I am new on the forum so I can’t publish a link) ---

I reinstalled microsoft visual c++ redistributable 2012, also the 2015-19 version. Then after that I installed whatever I had previously installed while the c++ was currupt. including drivers. after that it all worked. Hope that helps. ---

Hi All, We are aware of such behavior with some Windows 10 systems and are working on a fix. First, make sure to rescan your DAW for plug-ins according to our [**Rescan Articles**](https://www.waves.com/support/tag/plugins-missing-in-daw). If plug-ins are still missing, please reach out to our [**Support Team**](https://www.waves.com/contact-support) which will be able to provide a fix. 🙂 ---

Instead of AppData/Roaming folder, try the Library \> Application Support folder for both the system and the user. To open the user Library hold down option and click on the Go menu in Finder.
