MS16 Platinum: all 3rd party FX vanished after updating to Build 175

I have Movie Studio 16 Platinum. I just updated to Build 175. Now, no 3rd party effects show up in my FX folder as they used to. This is really upsetting, both because those FX are part of the reason I got this more expensive version of Platinum, and because I have used them in previous projects, which now won't be able to load those plugins as they now longer exist, apparentlyntly. This trashes many many hours of work done in my pre-updated version. Bit of a catastrophe really. Can anyone advise?

Try re-installing these plug-ins.

How? Never did it before except when prompted. I'm not being prompted. I thought updates were supposed to do that kind of thing automatically, and at least not destroy what was there and working fine before

I see no installers. The New Blue site knows me, but all it as to offer me are some new transiitons; no place to download what came with MSP19.

Can't figure out why an update had to remove existing plugins to begin with. So very unhelpful..

This is never true in computer software updates path.

Well, whatever happened, pre-update, these FX showed up in the program's FX browser, and immediately since updating, following all the prompts and accepting all defaults, they are not. Any ideas how to get these back?

@Ken-Kasriel
Before your update what was exactly your version- and buildnumber?
