ableton not recognising m1 - UPDATED

[d1ssy]

Recently changed to a new laptop after my old one had a melt down. I am now struggling to get Ableton to show the M1 in the plugin folder.

my specs are as follows..

Win 10 home 64bit
core i5 8300h 2.30GHz
8GB DDR4 ram
1TB HDD
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050

The specs of my old machine were pretty much the same, just an older GFX unit and older core i5 cpu.

getting frustrated that i cant use this plugin as it is used in pretty much everything i am creating


Any help would be greatly appreciated, if i had hair it would have been pulled out by now
=================================

After some more messing about, i have finally got ableton to recognise the M1 VST, but everytime i try and launch it, ableton freezes and no matter how long i wait it remains unresponsive.

I have the 64bit version installed, but out of curiosity i did try and install the 32bit and nothing shows up (duh..)
