Installing a DAW

Anonymous

Hello,

I'm trying to install a DAW on my computer, I'm currently using Windows 10. The problem is that whatever DAW I try to install, when I open it for the first time, it keeps on loading and scanning plugins until I get an error message. That makes me think that there must be an issue with Windows.

I tried with Cubase and now with Reaper, same problem in both cases.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this ?

Thanks!

    Use Revouninstaller to uninstall all existing installations of the Visual C++ Redistributable:

    Then proceed to download and install all the appropriate ones you need:

    Direct download links:

    Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (32bit)

    Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (64bit)

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93...

    If that does not work, install the 2017 version instead:

    Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (32bit)
