VST Files scanning at start up v2.0.1

I upgraded from the previous version and each time I start the program it scans for VST plugin files. I did not have this problem in the previous version. Can I get this to stop scanning everytime I open the program. I’m using the program to record Amateur Radio signals, I don’t do complex recordings.

Go to “Edit menu > Preferences > Effects”
Remove the tick from VST option in the “Enable Effects” section.
Then restart Audacity.
