Scan directory function stops working upon first rom load

I downloaded the 2/2/17 build of retroarch and for some reason the scan directory option has stopped working when you load your first rom. For example if I load a N64 rom and quit the game, I will no longer be able to scan for snes roms. If I try to scan a directory it will instantly say “scanning of directory finished” and none of my roms will be added. If anyone else has experienced this or know a fix I would appreciate it.
