VEP 7, 20+ minutes to load with no preloaded sounds

Core i7 8700k, 64 gb of ram, running a handful of VST's and as the title says, I have been waiting for VEP 7 to load for the past 20 minutes and its still scanning plugins.

I have EastWest, Kontakt, Vienna Instruments, Synchron, Synchron Piano, and MIR Pro, along with Izotope RX7 and Eventide's Blackhole plugins.

I guess Im not doing any writing tonight, this is insane, its just gotten worse and worse scanning for plugins, it was never addressed since VEP 7 was first released and now, it doesnt even load. Yes, Ive rebooted. I dont run any virus scanners except what Windows 10 comes with, and yes, before you ask, I checked, the computer is plugged in.

How can I use VEP 7?

*Edit* Ok, went out to eat, came back, still scanning plugins. My list of non-vienna plugins is nowhere near 50, there is no reason it should take this long.

Could you tell me which plugins take so long to be scanned? The names of the scanned plugins should be showing.

This is what it looks like when I start VEP7. Takes somewhere between 20 minutes and 4 hours to load.

What I could think of, is if you have mistakenly added your root drive path for VST plugins. This would cause scanning to take a very long time. To reset plugin paths (and other settings), you can delete your VEP preferences file, and then start VEP again:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\VSL\Vienna Ensemble Pro.ini

Nope, only folder here is my Kontakt folder, for giggles, I removed the Kontakt folder and restarted it, still takes at least 5 minutes, I closed after the 5 minutes.

Also, I dont have an ini file in that directory, I have show hidden files and folders enabled.

I have sent you a PM, I hope we can resolve this together. I'm very curious to find out what is causing this issue on your machine.
