Yes it also happens in the standalone version. It also happens in Cubase (which I'm trying not to use anymore), so it's not just Reaper causing it. It means that I can't have it installed in my default Reaper project and I only install it when I want to use it.

I'm using it in Reaper.

Yes, still enabled.

Windows Defender is turned off.

Actually it hasn't helped.
It seemed to be ok at first but that might have been because I had previously opened Reaper before enabling TLS 1.2.
The problem is still there.

Thanks Greg,

It worked. Sorry I doubted your advice!

Ron.

Thanks for the reply but:

1. The problem is with Pianissimo
2. I don't use Mixcraft
3. I don't want it to check for updates.

Was this problem ever resolved as I have the same thing?
