Cubase 10.5.12 - Crashes on load when scanning plugins without a crash log

Has anyone got a workaround for this on Windows 10? I’m getting exactly the same issue where it just starts scanning plugins and dies. I have thousands of plugins and I don’t want to have to go through them all manually trying to find updates to them. It is ludicrously frustrating. It is completely unusable. Did they not give it to anyone to test?

After update to 10.5.30 still crashes on startup during VST2 plugin manager step, no plugins were installed recently. Just worked one day, next day stopped working.
