Test run them from there. You should not have backblaze or similar invasive software running while using any DAW, so turn that off as well.

Then get to likely more useful stuff. Like removing all .aaxplugin files, testing with different sessions, testing from a new admin user account, etc. trashing prefs frequently as you try stuff.
Thank you, Darryl! Lots of great suggestions. I will go through them soon!
