Re-setting the Pro Tools plug-ins cache manually

macOS and AAX 64-bit format:

1. Close Pro Tools.
2. Using macOS Finder, go to “~/Library/Preferences/Avid/Pro Tools/” (without the quotes).
3. Manually delete the InstalledAAXPlugIns file (to force a complete new plug-ins scan).
4. Re-open Pro Tools.

For Pro Tools 2023.12 or higher, the plug-in cache is on a new path "/Users/Shared/Pro Tools/AAXPlugInCache", and each plug-in generates one separate file.

Windows and AAX 64-bit format:

1. Close Pro Tools.
2. Press the Windows key plus R.
3. Enter “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Avid\Pro Tools\” (without the quotes), and click on OK.
4. Manually delete the InstalledAAXPlugIns file (to force a complete new plug-ins scan).
5. Re-open Pro Tools.

For Pro Tools 2023.12 or higher, the plug-in cache is on a new path "C:\Users\Public\Pro Tools\AAXPlugInCache", and each plug-in generates one separate file.

After deleting the plug-ins cache file, on the next run, Pro Tools will re-scan all of your AAX plug-ins, and depending on the number of AAX plug-ins installed, the process may take several minutes.
