Description
**Description**
On Windows 10 and 11 Home edition, the plugins install, but when adding them to a track in REAPER, REAPER immediately crashes.
**To Reproduce**

- Start a new REAPER project
- Attempt to add either plugin to a track in the REAPER project
**Temporary Resolution**
- If possible, move to Windows Professional or Enterprise
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the crash using a Windows 10 or 11 Home installation, the Windows VST3 installer, and REAPER by adding either plugin to a new track. Start by comparing this behavior with Windows Professional or Enterprise, then trace the plugin startup path available in the repository. Done means the VST3 plugins no longer immediately crash REAPER on Windows Home.
