Thanks to the logs shared, I was able to identify the problem with DGH stoping the plugins loading process. The problem is in the DGH_Help substack (the DGH documentation) which the IDE is considering as locked. Don't ask me why, this is the only substack in DGH which has a couple of properties

Yeah, thats what I'm saying. Think of it this way. If you make 2 standalones, run both, and have 1 standalone try to put text into a field of the other, it won't work because they are each running their own engine instance. If one engine instance opens several stacks they're able to talk
