1.26: gst-plugin-scanner.exe crash on Windows 11 Pro Build 22631

after upgrading to gstreamer 1.26 one of my users report a continous crash:

P1: gst-plugin-scanner.exe
P2: 0.0.0.0
P3: 67d1a0e9
P4: MSVCP140.dll
P5: 14.32.31332.0
P6: 8b64702c
P7: c0000005
P8: 00000000000132f8
P9:
P10:
and pipelines fails due to plugins not found (but they are there!)

downgraded to 1.24.12 the problem disappeared.
