Logic Pro X crashes on startup

I am using macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 and Logic Pro X 10.8.1. The program crashes on startup. Everything is updated, including 3rd party plugins. When I open without loading core audio (holding control key while starting) I cannot run the plugin manager to troubleshoot. What should I do. Is there a way to see which plugin (or other) is causing the problem in the crash report that is generated (I do not know how to read it -limited computer knowledge).

Thank you

Logic Pro 11 crashing on play after update At this point, I'm sort of lost. I think that it has to do with some 3rd party plugin that I'm using. But if I start a new project and insert my 3rd party plugins, the project will play fine. However nearly all of my older projects are crashing the minute I press play. Spinning wheel sits forever, Logic application not responding. I checked my computer diagnostics and it seems like my mac is running fine, even when it crashes. Looking for any new ideas to try to fix this issue.

Logic Pro 10.8.1 won't open a window Hi, Logic Pro has not been working for me since yesterday. The app opens, but no window is visible. I can see the App Menu, but almost everything is greyed out. For example, File > New is greyed out. The only thing that works is the settings window. Till yesterday I didn't experience any crashes. I am using: MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro Logic Pro 10.8.1 Things I have tried: Removed all plugins. Disconnected all devices from the computer. Restarted the computer. Reset Logic Pro settings. Uninstalled with BuhoCleaner. Reinstalled Logic Pro. Even tried running it using Rosetta. Tried with Core Audio disabled and enabled. Reinstalled sound library. ActivityMonitor shows CPU usage for Logic Pro above 99% all the time. GarageBand works. Here is what I see under File & Window. Nothing helps. I have already found similar problems on the internet, but no good solution. I would like to avoid reinstalling the system since it is very time-consuming and it can happen again, and I won't be able to fix it. Thank you!

Logic Prox X 11.0.1 stopped working after update to Sonoma 14.5 (iMac Intel 2019) Happened after updating to Logic Pro 11.0.1 and Sonima 14.5 on my iMac 2019 (Intel). Was working one evening, gone the next morning. Logic Pro opens without any error message, the menu bar is visible, but refuse to open any window (still no error messages). Most elements in the menu are grayed out, including the plugin manager and all the elements in the Window menu. Will not open any project, will not quit from the dock, but can quit from the menu bar. Any idea?
