What happens with the VST version?
Did it work with a version before GP 5.3.3 ?

Can you please perform the following:
Make sure GP is not running
Start GP and hold the shift key down until the Temporary Startup Options dialog appears
Make sure that both Load last gig file and Scan for new plugins are both disabled
Click OK
Open your plugin manager — look for that specific SSL 4KB plugin and if it is there (in any format), remove it from the list
Still on the plugin manager, click the Scan button at the bottom and Scan For New Or Updated Plugins
Did that complete without crashing? If so, does the SSL plugin show up as enabled or is it in red and disabled?
@npudar vst3 is fine.
@pianopaul no, last version failed validation too.
@dhj Interestingly, this validated it. Must have been some type of conflict with my gig file Now when opening my default gig file, it’s present in the plugin scanner. Not sure if this still qualifies as a bug then, but the system report is attached if anyone needs it. Thanks!
