You can create an elevated shortcut to run bbw4 bypassing the UCA but you will have to run Standalone manually then the shortcut and in the Preferences set it Keep BBW Open, this should keep bbw4.exe always open when using the vst plugin hopefully. Drag bbw4 into UCA Pass it will create a shortcut on the Desktop that you run after starting the Standalone and before using the vst Plugin. https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/UAC-Pass.shtml

so in a nutshell.......... its normal for the user account control panel to appear for every action i use in the bb vst. if this is the case ill put up with it rather than do all that nerdy computer stuff,even though you have gave a very detailed description of what to do... my intelligence just about lets me click buttons haha.
once again thanks for your valuable time and input.

You need to set your UAC windows account user control as in these pics from the Windows control panel Mike

In User Accounts is your account set as an Administrator or Standard User ?
i think its administrator, since seeing the forums in pg music and seeing the question "are you running as admin" so many times i run anything and everything possible as admin.

i did all that stuff and got to the point of "test" bb opened without the user account panel showing but i got the message about "MaxPluginsToScan" and then the exception error thing. ive had a problem with this before so i just cancelled out of the set up. ive contacted pg support now so ill see if they can advise me. once again thanks for your time.
an update is that fl studio works ok and i dont get the user account thing everytime.
bandlabs gone to pot so i dont bother with that but the 2 programs i like to use mixcraft and traktion still have the problem.

bbw4.exe runs silently in the background so you won't see it, it needs the plugin running to talk to it. It is the plugin that starts bbw4.exe.
thanks again pipeline
