Logic Pro 11 freezes after download of instruments

I purchased an Apple Studio so that I could run Logic 11.

I used the Apple migration feature from my Mac-Mini intel. ( 2018) to the new Mac Studio.

all good so far, so I launched Logic Pro on the studio and had problems with some of the plugins, which I resolved.

I test by loading a current project and all was fine.

Then noticed that more content could be downloaded so I started it off (took around 3 hours to download) and further time to install.

Re-booted and launched Logic and now all I get is the beach ball and the message ‘Logic Not Responding’

have contacted support and the follow action taken.

remove all plugins (still the same)

delete logic and re- install (still the same)

created new test user (Admin)

Installed Logic (Basic version and all working.

Re-installed additional content

Re-booted

still logic freezes with beach ball spinning and not responding

Support to contact me on Monday, but any help would be so appreciated. Gary

What a super hero you are! Reinstalled and left for 4 hours and ‘boom’ it all fired up. The only problem I had was the Apple support had moved all my plugins? So I copied them all back and it just hung on validation. Found the naughty plugins, removed them completely and it now fires up and runs perfectly. I really can’t thank you enough, gonna dive in and see what’s new. Gary

All that stuff you downloaded will need to be indexed.

Be sure to leave it running for a while and not just shut it down until Monday.

Problem seems solved, so I'm deprecating my reply, as one can't delete them in this forum.

(I would delete the preference files for Logic, which end in '.plist' and have something with 'logic' in the middle of their name. You can't find them via Spotlight, but you can use an external free app like EasyFind.)

Thank you for your reply, should I start from scratch again and then just leave it running?

could it be that I download to an external SSD? I have always used this in the past?

Just some more info, I noticed that when I leave it to run and right click on the app it has the dreaded ‘Not responding’ would it still be indexing?

Thanks for your input, Apple support tried that and it didn’t work, I thought it would have sorted it out? But thank again so much for your response, it’s much appreciated.
