Plugins missing in projects

Crazy issue with Cakewalk, maybe you guys have a good suggestion. So when I open a project I'll get a message that says it can't find the .dll and that it may be missing or improperly installed. It seems to be random what plugins are doing it. I only tried a few projects as I was concerned that if I keep trying projects I'm gonna lose the plugin info if I have to reset anything.

So the first question is has anything changed on my PC? To my knowledge no, I haven't done maintenance, installed new programs or downloaded anything. I did update SPLAT last week but have used it without issue since, until last night. The only thing that happened out of the norm was that I was auditioning synths for a part in a song and when I tried the Roland Groove Synth Sonar crashed. After that is when the issue started. Two other weird things have happened; 1- the fault reporter was quarantined by McAfe and 2-I opened plugin manager and found the .dll for Dropzone (one of the plugins that Sonar says is missing) and rescanned, after the scan Dropzone no longer shows in plugin manager. The file is still there when I go to its directory outside of Cakewalk.

Since the issue, I reinstalled the pack through Command Center that Dropzone comes in, nothing different. I rolled back to previous SPLAT, I also allowed the Windows 10 update to go through. Checked again this morning before work...and... same issue.

Any clues as to what's going on here? Thank you for any help you can offer.

So its being completely crazy with scanning for plugins this afternoon. I am thinking that I just want to uninstall and reinstall cakewalk. Any suggestions on how the best and easiest way to do that is? I have the SPLAT subscription, I upgraded from X3 Producer.

So I if am going to uninstall do I need to do both and reinstall both? Is there a quicker way to address this? It seems like maybe the directory is screwed.

SO here is what I am getting for a TON of plugins

Even though it's affecting plugins that don't use iLok? So how would I go about fixing this?

That is a problem with iLok.

Easy for you to say :-) One of my iLok authorized plug-ins (Izotope DDLY) just lost authorization as well. I've read 3 or 4 recent posts dealing with plug in problems. Coincidence? Maybe - but the most obvious thing that's changed here in my studio is the Sonar version.
