If so, reenable them, one at a time, saving the prefs and restarting Resolve with each additional plugin enabled, and determine which plugin(s) is causing the issue.
Dwain... thanks for this update. The project is now loading.
I had previously tried your suggestion; what worked... I removed the path to the VST's as well, then it came up. It is also having problems with the path to some color VST's and is creating lots of popup messages for these. Those would have also caused some locks.
Solved: An audio VST was popping up at a later stage in the larger projects; on smaller projects it came up at the stage where Fairlight was loading and could be overridden. There was a license issue that was resolved so that issue should have disappeared. In trouble shooting the issue, I re-installed Resolve and in
that process removed some video VST (DCTL). During the startup the system would hang with popups on every missing DCTL's. If you did not respond to the first popup instantly, the system would then lock up as the active popup would be overlayed by others so it could not be acted on. This process was happening behind the audio VST popup wait that was not visible on screen; the the whole system would hang with a dead lock once it went through Fairlight loading. Soloution: Remove the path to the VST from the parameter save and reboot. (on a loadable project) (unloadable - you could (temp) rename the VST directory name or (temp) move from away from the search path)
