VST Loading
Is there any chance we could have a system where a fresh install of Muse Score doesn't load any VST's at all and then lets the user choose which ones to load subsequently? 99% of my plugins are for music production a DAW and have no relevance to score writing at all. I need 2 plugins for score writing. The initial scan for plug-in takes forever. Any subsequently added plugins that are irrelevant to the use of MuseScore means MuseScore rescans the whole lot. It makes using MuseScore extremely frustrating and a bit of a waste of time. Especially if I'm out of the house without an iLok dongle.

You can edit the "known_audio_plugins.json" file. (search for it; in linux ~/.local/share/MuseScore/MuseScore4/ )
Set every vst you don't want to
"enabled": false,
There also are 2 command line switches:
--register-audio-plugin path -- Check an audio plugin for compatibility with the application and register it
--register-failed-audio-plugin path -- Register an incompatible audio plugin
There is a "audio plugin manager" project here https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/15967
