  RE: Acid Music Studio 11, Auto update failure.
  Uninstalled Visual Studio again, through the Windows App uninstaller. Verified its gone. Rebooted the PC, and ran Music Studio and let it do its auto update. Again it fails at the point where it installs Visual Studio. It just never gets past it.

  RE: LOST SOUND POOLS AND LOOPS
  @ed-malone I'm pretty sure that Music Maker 2021 can no longer connect to the servers. That's why you need to install version 2024. And it's not necessary to enter the P3 number again. Logging in is enough.

  @stuart-cassie Used the Microsoft installer to remove Visual Studio. What does this mean? You go into Windows Apps and simply select to uninstall the Redistributables (I think it's version 2013). I'm not sure what you're doing here.
