My DAW freezes for a while when I try to start the plugin.

This problem is known to occur on some Windows systems, if a certain option is enabled.

1) Close your DAW.

2) Go into the installation folder of your DAW, where you can find the .exe file of it. (For instance Cubase10.exe, reaper.exe, Studio One.exe, ...).

3) Right-click on the .exe file and select "Properties".

4) In the new properties window click on the tab "Compatibility"

5) Make sure that the "Compatibility mode" is unchecked.

6) Confirm by clicking OK and start your DAW and the plugin.
