    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):

    Reinitializing the MASCHINE 2 Database on Windows

    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:
    5. C: > Users > *Your User Name* > AppData > Local
    6. From here, navigate to the folders; Native Instruments > Maschine 2.
    7.  Delete the "komplete.db3" file by right-clicking it and choosing Delete.
    1. Also delete the Favorites database file that is used by the MASCHINE 2 software.
    2. Note: We recommend saving a backup copy of the Favorites database file before deleting it.
    3. Click the Windows Start Button on the bottom left of your screen.
    4. Type %localappdata% into the search bar, then press Enter.
    5. This will open the following folder location:
    6. C: > Users > *Your User Name* > AppData > Local
    7. From here, navigate to the folders; Native Instruments > Shared.
    8. Delete the "favorites.db3" file by right-clicking it and choosing Delete.
    9. Relaunch the MASCHINE 2 software and wait for the database to be rebuilt.
    1. Once completed, your MASCHINE 2 Browser will display all of the content installed on your system.

    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
