Sound Forge 13 not opening

I own SF 13 and I wasn't using it a lot, today I tried to open it and stays trying, keeping reading the vst3 files one and again, I leave it doing that for several hours and nothing. Any clue to open it without reading vst? I mean a clean open, no 3rd part plugins, just the SF included. Thanks in advance

Firstly did you try reinstalling SF?
If that does not help, note the VST search folders file paths in "Options> Preferences> VST effects", clear the search folders (delete the path) then re-start SF and re-enable one at time to identify (ID) in which folder the problem file exists. When the folder is founder is found, move the VST <.dll> files to a temp folder, and move them back a few at a time (apathetically for instance to find ID offender. Unfortunatly this can be labor intensive.
