Why is the Plugin Manager continually removing my plugins? I go to use the plugins I have added but they do no appear in the Plugin Extras, and when checking the Plugin Manager they do not appear there either.

What causes this?

When you first install one of the problem plugin, does it appear in File > Plug-in Extras or Library > Plug-in Extras, and then disappear some time later? Or does it never appear? Please provide more details about the precise steps you're doing, which plugin, etc.

The Plugin is "LensTaggger".

I install it, it appears in the Plug-in Manager and the Plugin Extras; I use it .... and then some time afterwards when I go to use it again it has disappeared completely out of Lr Classic and I have to install it again. It has happened 4 times reecently.

1. Where are you placing the ".lrplugin" file -- in the Modules subfolder of the "Lightroom" settings folder? On a cloud drive (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)? On a network volume? An external drive? Or somewhere else?

2. When the plugin disappears from Plug-in Manager, is the ".lrplugin" file in the same place where you had previously placed it, or is it disappearing too?

3. Have you reset preferences around the time the plugin disappears from LR?

4. Does LR currently have Full Disk Access (not Files And Folders) permission, as described here:
