Contact UAD support. There is an issue with one of the latest updates on Windows 10 and Apollo software. I have had to change to an interim interface to continue working until I can try to roll back to an earlier Windows update or until UAD comes up with a fix. I hope this helps.

SOLUTION:
Yes rolling back the latest Windows Update that took place last week fixed the problem! I found someone on the UAD message board with the same setup, same problem, and same solution.

I just hope whoever's software it is that is conflicting with the latest update gets resolved before it forces another update in 30 days... (the longest you can pause it...)

I apologies ahead of time if this make me look like a putz but what happens if you don't put your daw computer online? Does it refuse to work? Am I ever glad I left the Windoze ecosystem a long time ago.

If you have Windows 10 Pro, use Group Policy Editor to permanently disable Windows Updates. Also use a backup program to image your drives. I use Macrium Reflect and image my drives nightly and before any update/upgrade/install/uninstall. Something goes south and I'm back to before that happened in about 15 to 20 minutes.

I did that once - setting it to never update - but then eventually the latest WAVES software wouldn't install without a windows update... so it became a domino update scneario which worked fine... until this latest KB4515384 Windows Update... and guess why I'm back here today to say this.. haha.. yep.. a month went by and it did the friggin' update again - and now same problem.. so I'm going to uninstall again... and just set it to stop the updates, like you said.. and hopefully either the next PT update or a future WINDOWS update can play nice together before I'm forced to update for compatibility sake of updating plugins.. Thanks again

oh - "The Weed" - do you use the free or paid version of the Macrium Reflect ?

Paid version. It has a few features the free version doesn't, like Macrium Image Guardian - protects the image against Ransomware - and emailed notification of a successful or failed image.
