Now, when I try to open Acid Pro to activate it, Acid pro doesn't even load up. It's running in my task manager, but no splash screen, nothing.

There was a major update in Win10 today (KB3081424), if your lucky, your system could possibly succeeded with the update for some users are having issues with the update failing halfway the installation & reverting back the process even underwent several restart loop. I was one of them, maybe somehow your PC managed to finish today's windows update & made some negative impact on you DAW software compatibility. I am also having issues with plugins not being loaded properly even those that were bundled along with AP7.

When you say "today" do you mean the 12th? because this happened to me on the 11th. The 10th, AP7 was working perfectly fine.

Hi, my Win 10 is now fully updated, it was OK, able to run Ap7 except some other plugins not being recognized or not appearing in the plugins lists. I also have the same issue like what your getting now but not in ACID but with NI guitar combos stand alone app, when running them its not not showing the GUI but you'll find it running in the task manager. Also their related VST's not recognized in AP7, takes a long time during splash screen when loading NI vst.

I had Windows 10 installed for about a week. No problems, everything was running fine (AP7 & plugins). all of a sudden one day last week (Wednesday) after work, I go to continue a project, it doesn't want to load.

So after Mr. Eric D from technical support couldn't figure out my problem, and totally screwed up my computer by telling me to do things that added hidden accounts, etc. I finally was able to go through the Windows support team, and roll back my PC to windows 8. I suggest anyone with Windows 10 and has this problem to just go back to Windows 7 or 8.
