Garageband 10.4.5 Stuck on Loading Screen

Garageband keeps getting stuck on the loading screen and says "updating Audio Unit plug-in's". I've tried everything from deleting all my plug-in's to reinstalling the app and clearing the AudioUnitCache. Any other ideas?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.2

Hello roelie03,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having trouble opening GarageBand on your Mac. We’re happy to help.


It sounds like you’ve tried some great troubleshooting so far. Next, we suggest seeing if the issue persists in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Additionally, we can try to isolate further by seeing if the behavior continues in a different user account: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support


Let us know the results.


Take care.
