Dreamweaver 2021 Hangs on Loading Site Cache after shutdown. Fine yesterday. OSX 12.6.7

All was working well. Shutdown iMac, when powered back on, DW now hangs with the "Loading Site Cache" message. If I wait, it continues to use up application memory until it errors out. I have not tried startup by destroying all extensions, etc. I have dozens of Project VII plug-ins and would hate to have to reinstall them all. Any ideas?

Have you tried restoring preferences? https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html#:~:text=Reset%20preferen...

I have not, yet. It says it will remove all preferences and extensions. I have dozens of extensions and I would like to not have to reinstall them all. That said, if there's no other option, that's going to be the next step. So frustrating that it was working fine...and now it's not.

Caching is optional.  You can disable site caching from the Manage Sites panel.  See screenshot.

Thank you, Nancy. I did the reset and got back in. Lost all my PVII extensions and have to go back and reinstall (that should take another 45 minutes...) I have gone into all the sites and disabled cacheing. Also turned off the "open most recent site" option as well. Thanks for your response.
