GarageBand stuck on open screen saying it’s searching audio plugins for updates

I just bought a 2017 IMac and installed GarageBand on it yesterday. It worked fine yesterday. Now today it is stuck on the open screen and it just says it’s searching for audio plugin updates.

I’ve tried opening it in a new account as well as a guest account. Didn’t work.

please help me.

MacOS Ventura Garageband I have updated my Mac yesterday to OS Ventura. And after reading and looking to its features, It seems that I can't open my garageband. It says "updating information about audio unit plugins", and looking through force quit it says that garageband is not responding. They must look into this, especially for musician & producers like us. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Garageband won't open. Garage band is stuck on "updating information about audio unit plug-ins" I have tried restarting Mac, reinstalling garage band, booting in safe mode and also opening app on another used unfortunately none of this options helped and garage band is always stuck on the same loading screen.
