Re: Crash while scanning for plugins
If you already have a bunch of plugins existing from previous work with other DAWs, since your system is getting on the older side, the new version of PT, while it should be okay, a bunch of those older plugins are very likely to be potential problems as BScout indicates.
You might be able to continue to use the VST and AU of those plugins in other DAWs, but the AAX plugin folder that BScout points out might be so old they just aren't compatible anymore. (Even when you were not using PT yet, plugin installers might have been putting plugins into this directory path, because they might be usable by many and were packaged with those installers, but written with older versions of PT in mind.)
If you leave just those bad plugins in the Unused folder, everything else might be working okay!
Good luck.
