Logic Pro hangs on opening plugin scan. MacBook Air M1.

I have been attempting to open Logic Pro on my new M1 MacBook Air. it hangs on 2 plugins, but doesn't tell me what they are. It just freezes, forcing me to force quit. It doesn't do anything further. How do I fix this?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Mac Book Air (M1) now and then restarts I am using a Mac Book Air (M1) and every now and then the Mac Book Air (M1) crashes. Restarts and runs for a while. Does anyone know this behavior and maybe know the reason? The operating system has already been updated (BigSur / 11.2.2). Are there any solutions for this problem? Could an attached USB-C hub be the problem?

Logic 10.6.3 Quits Unexpectedly - Switching Alternatives/Quitting/Bouncing/ etc. Hi Everyone After much troubleshooting I'm still finding Logic crashes/quits every time: I Switch between project Alternatives Try to Quit Logic Close one project and try opening another Bouncing Midi in place (sometimes) Error reports detail numerous triggers: sometimes 3rd Party software, Auvaltool (which itself crashes when trying to rescan plugins), Sigtrap - (link to error reports below) Feels like I've tried everything to get to the bottom of this: sorting out Caches/Components, rescanning plugins, updating 3rd party software etc. I have the latest version of Logic (10.6.3) and Big Sur (11.5.2), but all this was happening in the previous Big Sur update too. Model is: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) Any help or insights much appreciated. Mike

Logic Pro 10.6.0 instantly crashing when opening any plugins. I recently updated my MacBook Pro to Big Sur and along with that, Logic to the newest patch. Unfortunately, every time I open any plugin, Logic instantly crashes. This happens when trying to add a new plugin to a channel strip, open a preexisting on a previous project, or when opening plugins loaded in along side software instrument patches and their sends. In my previous projects that already are finished, all the plugins work but as you go to open them, it crashes. I have removed and reinstalled all my 3rd party plugins and this did nothing as this still happens with the built in plugins. It definitely isn't hardware related as this is a 2019 MBP 16 with an 8-core i9 and 32 gb of ram. This is some info from the crash report: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]' terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException abort() called Anyone having the same problem or with any kind of insight into this issue, your help would be appreciated.

Use only compatible plugins. Just curious, did you do a fresh installation of your computer's software or did you migrate from an old one?
