All 3rd Party Plugins Disappeared

[lesbrunn]

Hey guys,

Hope everyone is safe and healthy?

In my almost 20 years of using PT, this is the first time I've seen that only Avid plugins are available to me when I open a session. All my other plugins are still in the AAX plugin folder, but when I open a session, I get a message that they are not there.

I have trashed preferences in vain, and re-installed PT 20.12 which is what I've been using without problems since last year. I've also checked for Windows problems, but all is good there. I can revert to a previous system image which I'm sure will work, but I'd first of all like to understand what's happening now and if there's another solution.

Any help will be appreciated tremendously. Thanks.
