You can create an elevated shortcut to run bbw4 bypassing the UCA but you will have to run Standalone manually then the shortcut and in the Preferences set it Keep BBW Open, this should keep bbw4.exe always open when using the vst plugin hopefully.
Drag bbw4 into UCA Pass it will create a shortcut on the Desktop that you run after starting the Standalone and before using the vst Plugin.
https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/UAC-Pass.shtml

It you create a windows installer for bbw4.exe it should bypass UCA
when bbw4 is started https://www.softpedia.com/get/Authoring-tools/Setup-creators/Inno-Setup.shtml

See if any of those work.

pipeline thanks for your input..

so in a nutshell..........
its normal for the user account control panel to appear for every action i use in the bb vst.
if this is the case ill put up with it rather than do all that nerdy computer stuff,even though you have gave a very detailed description of what to do... my intelligence just about lets me click buttons haha.

once again thanks for your valuable time and input.

PG should come up with a way so you don't get the UCA nag, you can turn UCA off but that's up to you.

i think its administrator, since seeing the forums in pg music and seeing the question "are you running as admin" so many times i run anything and everything possible as admin.

pipeline thanks for input.

i did all that stuff and got to the point of "test" bb opened without the user account panel showing but i got the message about "MaxPluginsToScan" and then the exception error thing. ive had a problem with this before so i just cancelled out of the set up.
ive contacted pg support now so ill see if they can advise me.
once again thanks for your time.

an update is that fl studio works ok and i dont get the user account thing everytime.

bandlabs gone to pot so i dont bother with that but the 2 programs i like to use
mixcraft and traktion still have the problem.

bbw4.exe runs silently in the background so you won't see it, it needs the plugin running to talk to it. It is the plugin that starts bbw4.exe.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
