In the Waves app, Waves Central, click on settings (lower left hand corner). The line that reads ‘Clear Central cache’, hit the ‘Clear’ tab. Your problem may be that your older Waves files are misdirecting WL. Clear this, restart Waves Central, than restart your DAW. Hopefully this will sort things.

Hi,
My Wavelab Elements 10.0.40 keeps on crashing with Waves v11 Plugins on my Mac OSX 10.15.5
When I open Plugins L2,H-EQ and C2A and switch to each outher 4-5 times. Suddenly it crashes. This is annoying as I have paid for upgrade to WL10 to avoid crashes on catalina. I wrote a support ticket, but I have no response. I slowly begin to thing that Steinberg Wavelab is not a good choice on a Apple Computer.
this is the crash report:
