Is anyone else having issues with various (WAVES) and VST3 plugin GUI’s not be able to be seen when re-opening them within? It’s been happening to me a lot and I’ve been through all of the usual, clean outs, re-installing, re-scanning, making Sure everything is up to date etc etc. It has become so unreliable here. ---

Hi @mattrixx, Thanks for the information and for sharing. I think it’s worth [Contacting Technical Support](https://www.waves.com/contact-support) and letting them dig into your setup to try to distinguish whether the cause of the issue might be something specific or a wider issue. Either way, you will probably get a bit more insight after they verify everything related. ---

Ok, thanks Adi, Will look into it when I get some more time. ---

Sometimes deleting the Waves Central cache from it’s Settings view and manually deleting the shells from your system’s plugins folders and the Application/Programs folder then running a Repair function, also in Central’s settings, can help with issues like this. ---

Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately, I’ve done all of that several times already now. ---

Damn. I assume you have also ruled out compatibility issues triggered by an upgrade you weren’t aware of?? 🤔 > **[Supported Hosts | Support](https://www.waves.com/support/tech-specs/supported-hosts)** > > This page lists all DAWs officially supported for each version of Waves plugins. ---

Have you gotten hold of tech support at all?? If you plan to, you might want to do that before they get overwhelmed with Black Friday sales issues
