All my Waves plugins suddenly stopped working

Hi guys, got a huge problem at the worst time in regards to Waves and FL Studio.
I pretty much read every support thread on this already. Didn't find a solution.

The problem:
I've been using WAVES Plugins for several years on FL Studio, through the Waveshell plugin.
This morning they suddenly stopped working for no reason at all.
Everytime I try to open a Waves plugin in FL I get
"There was a problem opening the plugin WaveShell1-VST3 12.7_x64 for an unknown reason"

This did not happen up to 24 hours ago. I didn't do any updates nor changes to my computer these past 24 hours, so it's quite sudden an unjustified.

I spent the entire morning reading forums for threads from people with the same issue, and I already tried:
- Deactivatng & reactivating the licenses.
- Reactivating the licenses on a different drive
- Re-installing Waves Central
- Re-importing Waveshell in FL Studio's plugin manager by enabling the "verify plugins & rescan plugins" options
- Tried running Waveshell V9 instead of V12
- Tried importing the plugins in FL Studio's plugin manager directly from the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V12" folder.

Also tried:
- uninstalling each plugin
- uninstall waveshell then manually removing EVERY registry line referring to Waves both in the WAVES and Image-Line folder of my registry
- deleting every left-over folder including the Roaming folders.
and then, finally, re-installing everything and seeing if it works.
That didn't work either.

No matter what I do, how I import the plugins, how I run them etc, I always get that error I reported.

I also tried the offline installer for previous versions such as V10, that one seems to work even less as I can't even get plugins to show up that way.
Can I get any help on this?
I already contacted Wave support but I'm asking here as well to have different perspectives.

Thanks!
