After installing the latest Windows 10 update yesterday (KB5012117), I can't use Helix Native in Reaper. This could be a coincidence, but it's the only thing I can think of that's different from the previous days where it worked. Reaper opens and other plugins work fine, including Bias 2 and Amplitube 5. When I click on Helix Native (either VST2 or VST3), it will load the plugin, but clicking on the plugin to bring up the UI causes both the plugin and Reaper to crash. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor, 3600 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s) RAM: 32 GB I've tried uninstalling Helix Native, restarting my computer, and reinstalling Helix Native, but the issue persists. I've also tried uninstalling the Windows update, but Windows automatically installed the update upon rebooting my computer, even after I'd turned "pause updates for 7 days" on. Malwarebytes and Windows Virus & threat protection show no malware or viruses. Any help would be much appreciated. UPDATE: I uninstalled Helix Native, but then also went to C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Line 6 and deleted the folder. Afterwards I restarted my PC, reinstalled Helix Native, and that fixed it.

I don't think that the upgrade always updated the Wait parameter correctly, I'd try saving a problem patch with a value say 100mS then save it again with 0, see if that solves it.

FIrst of all, I'd like to say thank you to everyone here that is helpful in their responses, but also those that ask questions that also prompt myself (and others) to approach things differently and explore a bit to educate yourself about rigs/blocks/effects etc. Big shout out to those who post video tutorials (Jason Sadites to name a primary one for myself, and others who just escape me at the moment). Those tutorials have helped me think about things and approach things without a guitar in my hand and allowed me to really do some neat things. Why all these words? My Stone Temple Pilots band had our first headlining show this past weekend. While the venue was, a'hem, not the grandest.....the crowd was into our setlist (after another band opened for 2 hours). All that is great....but my real satisfaction comes from programming my Helix and being happy with it, but also being efficient and well prepared for sound guys as we do not run our own sound and I dont like to let that control go away easily. HOWEVER.... While we performed great.....at the end while tearing down, I asked the sound guy (who I had already qualified as a great guy, knowledgeable, geeky like me with gear, and an overworker in his field compared to others) how my guitar sounded...and he said it sounded great. I asked what he did to help me get in the mix to file that information away when I make my next adjustments...and his response, "Dude, I didn't have to touch your guitar. I ran your guitar flat. Thats the first time I've ever run a guitar players rig flat. Anyone that has to EQ your guitar in a mix, needs to retune their PA!" I immediately put my arms in the air, and with a fist pump added a 'F*ck yeah'!! I then asked how my lead boosts were, and he said they were great. He literally had to do nothing to my guitar all night. I've never felt such satisfaction from a group of 25 presets in my playing life. 30 years, 16 of that is running direct (Boss, Line 6, Fractal). Just wanted to share as it was 2 days ago and I'm still proud of those comments. Edit: Oh, and yes....for those that say the stock cabs aren't good enough. Maybe in a studio realm they lack something a special IR does have. But my presets in this set all used 2 stock cabs in parallel.
