Default VSTs go missing/won't open/intermittent

I've recently hit an issue where some of my VSTs refuse to load when I start up Reaper. They'll say they can't be found and will be offline. If I reset my computer SOMETIMES they come back. Other times the VSTs won't show in my browser, or if they do won't load. This is intermittent and will happen to any plugin, there is not a specific few.

Any one have any ideas? This is incredibly frustrating.

Are those the last few tracks?
Is that towards the end of the project?

Memory load issues?

No to both. Is that a common thing?

Not that I know of: I was just guessing.

Can you try with another DAW or plug-in host to see if the problems arise there too?
Could you disk be failing?

Thanks again. No, everything works in other DAWs no issues and the SSDs are under a year old.

I want to report that at least 3 other people mentioned this bug (VST disappearing) on my Private Facebook Reaper user group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/reaperusergroup/.

Me included, a few weeks ago on Win10, 16 GB RAM and Reaper 5.50.

Plugin Guitar Rig 5 disappeared.

How I solved the problem: I installed 5.40 portable to see if it was version related... Once I added my paths (copy paste the exact same ones as 5.50, of my usual app) and re-scan, it was found on first try. Then I closed 5.40 and open 5.50 and voilà! It suddenly appeared too.

So it looks like installing a fresh portable Reaper changed something in the registry even if it's not supposed... My theory, I can be wrong.

What happened if you reinstalled 5.6 or later? Broken or still fixed now?

FWIW according to Justin Reaper doesnt touch the registry, so this is something else....

I've upgraded to 5.62 (I think), without having the missing VST problem again.
