I Was Having The Same Issue. I Just Uninstalled After Effects And Then Re-install It Again, It'll Not Remove Your Single Plug-in And Will Fix Your Problem!

You should be able to run the installer again and not loose your 3rd party plug-ins if you have a previous version of AE also installed and used the proper installers for the 3rd party effects. If you run the uninstaller and re-install and you've done some custom installing or don't have previous versions of AE on your system you risk loosing some of the 3rd party effects you may have installed. You'll just have to go for it.

Just an exe i think have the glow.ae in my plugins folder but it does not show when typing glow in effects and presets or stylize on solids and shape layers i have adobe cc 2017 latest and windows 10 latest. Dont really know what you mean with workflow details but i have the essentials layout

Workflow details are just what you are doing, step by step. Create a new comp, add some footage, add a shape layer, try and apply Glow to the footage.

If rebooting or deleting your preferences (Hold down Shift + Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd on launch) does not fix the problem, and you used the manufacturers installer instead of just dragging the file to your plug-ins folder then you need to contact the folks that made FL Glow.

3rd party installers should not overwrite existing effects. How did you install? What else has changed? I you create a new comp, add a shape layer, select it and go to Menu>Stylize>and type in G is glow not there? If you use the Effects and Presets panel and type in Glow is Glow missing from the list?

OS, AE version and workflow details down to the last decimal point may also help us diagnose the problem.
