Update
GUI is not visible. As mentioned before, Waves can be selected as an audio device, and the effect is there.
It happened right after updating to windows version 2004.
On another hdd there is a copy of the os for testing purposes.
On it I:
updated to latest os version, drivers, uninstalled all av/mallware, clean boot, disable startup programs from task manager, removed the xonar card and used the onboard sound card, deleted all waves files/registry, reinstalled waves.
After each update I looked if waves is still loading, and it stopped loading exactly after the 2004 update.
Windows is unable to roll back the update and there is no restore point.
After the 2004 update it had reset the audio devices in some players and windows.
There's no screenshot to send since waves is not loading.
In Resource monitor it shows WavesNX as beeing suspended in 2004, and terminated in the last update. It says access denied when trying to resume or terminate it.
In Event viewer there are some error messages that were not there before, on 2004 and latest version. I will post two of them.
