Fl Studio : All Plugins Edition *legit* build 4430


Certain plugins that I load into the mixer, when I delete them with the delete function in the menu, they crash the entire DAW. This also happens with a select few of generator plugins as well. I've tried this with all my plugins, and I've tried with a blank project. A blank project still results the same outcome. I have some plugins from the sister site, and I also own a majority now. I have a subscription for one, and some of those plugins crash as well. The plugins that crash after deleiton immediately are the following:

Bettermaker EQ232D : plugin alliance *legit*
autochroma : imagiro *legit*
prisma : unplugred *free*
backmask : freakshow industries *legit*
imagiro piano : imagiro *legit*
dirt : native instruments *cracked*
chowtapemodel : chowdsp *free*
morph eq : minimal audio *legit* but was *cracked for a period of time*
multiband x6 : devious machines *cracked*
emergence : daniel gergely *legit addon edition*
pancz : oversampled *cracked*
digitalis : aberrant dsp *cracked*

The plugin companies I have downloaded are the following:
Waves V11 *sister-site*
Zypnatiq *sister-site*
Wavesfactory, only 2. *legit*
Xfer records *sister-site*
voxengo *sister-site*
valhalla DSP *sister-site*
u-he *sister-site*
toneboosters *sister-site*
SSL *sister-site*
sound-toys *sister-site*
plugin-alliance *legit*
melda-production *sister-site*
fabfilter *sister-site*
goodhertz *sister-site*
D-16 *sister-site*
arturia *sister-site*
analog obsession *free*
antares *sister-site*
minimal audio *legit*

As you can see, these plugins crashed or installed that I've listed don't provide a discernable pattern. I've tried re-installing fl studio, and uninstalling these plugins and re-installing them, but it never changed anything. I've run into a corrupted system before, but this current setup has been running smoothly since the beginning of 2024 otherwise. i don't have any one-drive as I disabled the function with the tron-script. I don't catch any viruses or any issues other-wise. sometimes there is a graphic overload with too many plugins, but this delete-bug stays. there is no-system corruption from command scans, and I use revo-uninstaller pro when dealing with registry and software cleans.
I am not sure what it is anymore. I also don't experience any bugs other-wise with my plugins. everything has been installed correctly and used in many of my projects.
if anyone has experienced this before, and knows what I can do, or understands what could be happening during the process that it crashes, that would be great.
also, looking at the crash logs, they don't create any new ones when this occurs, so it is an immediate crash.
There was one only one created today after my testing: (I believe it was dirt by native instruments that created it)

Hello @arthez, please list some details, which operating system and which version of FL Studio are you using. What CPU, RAM and USB audio interface do you have? Please take a few pictures a. of the crash b. of the settings: MIDI, audio and general.

In Fl Studio there is a button under "Help" called Diagnostics, please run it and post it here.

The graphics card driver often causes problems. Which graphics card do you have installed? Which ASIO driver do you have?

Please install this program and let it run, a few screenshots would be useful.

Hello @Radio

apologies, the crash is immediate, so I believe it won't help with screenshots, but I recorded 3 instances.
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen : Audio interface.

This zip will contain screenshots from latency mon test in all sections, a html version of latencymon stats section that I had formatted just now, and the diagnostics report from Image-Line.

@Radio My bad, here are the screenshots of fl's midi, audio and general settings as well.

Hello @arthez, thanks for all the information you provide. The problem is not with the plugins, they are all fine, but with the computer settings in your PC. Please work through the links below:

LatencyMon - Error Reporting
Conclusion. Your System appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. you are likely to experience underrun appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One problem may be related to power management, disables CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

1. Focusrite - Optimising your PC for Audio on Windows 11
https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207355205-Optimising-Windows-for-Audio

2. BIOS (mainboard)
- Check if there is an update for your BIOS.
- If you have changed something in the BIOS, undo it by resetting the factory settings.

3. Disable ‘C-states’ in the BIOS
To save energy when the CPU is idle, the CPU can be commanded to enter a low-power mode. Different processors have varying arrays of power modes collectively called ‘C-states’ or ‘C-modes’. Different processors support different numbers of C-states — some don't support C-states at all.

We've found that having C-states enabled can cause adverse performance on some systems. If you're having audio performance issues, we recommend preventing your processor from entering power-saving C-states.

To do this, you will typically need to boot into the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) of your computer. Please contact the manufacturer of your motherboard if you're not comfortable doing this. Focusrite Technical Support cannot help you tweak BIOS settings as the BIOS layout and the available options are differ greatly from one machine to another.

4. Optimizing FL Studio performance

I run into "graphics overloaded" message more than anything on my pc, but they are big projects. latency wasn't really shown in my crashes though? (I updated my bios and disabled c-states.) (I've adjusted settings for focusrite)
