NI plug-ins not showing up in Logic

Setup: MacOS 13.5.2, Logic 10.7.9, Komplete 14 Standard and all file paths are set to NA's defaults.

I recently uninstalled Logic and all my NI apps and VSTs. I've since reinstalled Logic, reinstalled NA, KK, etc. However, now Logic is not finding my NI AUs. I've gone into plug-in manager and reset/rescan, restarted Logic, etc. but as you can see from the screen capture, only Logic's and Moog's AUs are being found.

Any ideas why Logic is not finding my NI installs? Note that Logic/NI had been working prior to my going in and "cleaning" my drive so I know that it has worked at one time.

Not sure how this fixed it - or it was even related, but after running FM8 as a standalone, Logic magically started recognizing the NI plug-ins. Go figure.

I use Windows, so I'm not shure, but on windows there are more then one localion VSTs are installed.

Native has it's own folder .. might it be that you have to add the Native Instruments folder where the plugins are stored?

Thanks but the plug-in folders do appear to be configured correctly (see screenshot). However, there's no option in Logic (that I'm aware of) to point it specifically to these folders. Note that the Moog D VST is getting picked up by Logic so I have to assume that Logic is looking in the correct place.

The reason I believe this is an NI issue is because Logic is finding other VSTs (Moog).

Does Logic have full disk access? How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

Are you able to open Komplete Kontrol, Kontakt and Guitar rIg in standalone?

What did you do exactly when "Logic/NI had been working prior to my going in and "cleaning" my drive so I know that it has worked at one time."

NA, KK, Kontakt, NTKDameon all have Full Disk Access enable. All work in standalone.

As far as cleaning, I had uninstalled all apps - Logic, NA, KK, etc. via the MacOS normal process (moving to trash). Because NA does not yet have a way to actually uninstall AUs, etc., I had to go into the /library/shared folder and delete all the NI content. I then grepped my MacHD and deleted any files related to Logic or NI - including in the hidden library folder as well. I also used the 3rd party "Audio Plugin Uninstaller" app to do any final clean up. I've rebooted and gone through this process multiple times but with the same results.

I created a support profile within Logic and one of the resulting files, "InstalledAudioUnits.txt" does show that Logic is seeing the AUs. They're just not showing up within the app.

I've spent days on this and am banging my head against a wall.
