ACID PRO 10 Hangs on VST scan - can't find xml files to fix

Hi All,

I inadvertently must have added the C:\Program Files folder to my VST scan list. Now, Acid gets to 100% but won't open. I found some fixes, like finding the AppData folder and deleting the plugincache XMLs, but they are nowhere to be found. I also tried launching Acid with the /NOVSTGROVEL switch, and that didn't work. What's the fix for Acid Pro 10 in Windows 10?

Never mind. I found the acidpro_bridgeaware_plugincache_x64.xml file in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\MAGIX\ACID Pro\10.0 folder and deleted it.

I'm back in business.
