If none of this is the case, try following these instructions (if you are under Windows. If you are on Mac, tell me and I will link you to the Mac procedure):

1. Close MASCHINE 2 and all other music applications.
2. Click the Windows Start Button on the bottom left of your screen.
3. Type %localappdata% into the search bar, then press Enter.
4. This will open the following folder location:

6. From here, navigate to the folders; Native Instruments > Maschine 2.

First thing that comes to mind: are you sure you’re not under the “User” tab?

Second thing: check Native Access to see if your programs/expansions are still correctly installed
