VST scan still hanging on CW synths even after installing 2016.12

The VST scan crashes on all the Raptures (Pro and Session) and Z3ta +2 since 2016.11 and the early release of 2016.12.  I was hoping that feature would be fixed in this version.  Is anyone else seeing this that has the early release?  Btw, I was able to complete the VST scan by excluding those synth from the scan, therefor, I'm able to install new VST's at least.

All the best,
Lynn

    OK, I fixed the problem with MS update... Still, sonar continues to crash in the same way. Been almost 2 weeks since I've been able to work on any of my projects.

    This is all part of the Instability issues related to the Windows update.

    Yes, but the 2016.12 early release came after the update, so it would appear that there was no fix for this in the early release.  I was just hoping that this issue would have been addressed by the CW update.

    Noel addressed this in the 5 page thread that was started last week. it appears the problem is with Windows and not Sonar. how this is possible is beyond me, but I can believe it, I don't think Cakewalk is going to re write the code and work backwards to help out Microsoft.

    Does that mean all other DAWs are also hooped?

    I just remembered that I have Reaper. Tried opening it... it also crapped out and wouldn't start. It stalled out on the Cakewalk plugs that most here are struggling with too (ie. ca2a, rap pro/session, zeta+2)

    Sometimes, identifying the problem can be far easier than implementing a fix. Especially when mitigation requires rewriting foundational code that will likely destabilize the application in unexpected ways.
     
    My guess is Microsoft could alleviate the need for drastic action by either reverting to the previous method or offering it as an alternative for developers. CW is probably waiting to see what MS is going to do, while simultaneously working up contingency plans in case MS drags their feet. Traditionally, MS prioritizes problems based on how many users are affected. To put it into perspective, that same Windows update that broke CA-2A also made it impossible for millions of users to obtain an IP address via DHCP. Guess which one got an emergency strike force assembled in Redmond?
     


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    There were four windows 10 updates between December 9th and 13th on my rig
    Security Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1607 (for x64-based Systems) (KB3209498)
    Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3206632)
    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - December 2016 (KB890830)
    Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3201845)
     
    any one of these could seem innocuous on the face of it, until you look at the list of effected files of which there are 15,000 entries in one of the releases.
    I am guessing there will be quite a lot of investigative work to determine which one has caused the headaches.
    I guess we could help if one of us has not installed certain updates but is experiencing the problems. It might assist the CW guys in narrowing down the cause. My guess is it is not the flash player update but I have been known to have been wrong
