No VSTs will load!

Hey,
Every time i load a VST into LMMS it doesnt load, usually the VST comes up but isnt responsive, then LMMS crashes and i have to re-open. Right now about 5-10% of VSTs that i have used actually work (including verified ones like Synth1 and Splash)
I would like to use synth VSTs in my music, so what should I do?
If i wait, just leave it, will they load eventually, or is there an error in the way i am installing them?
Thanks

I'm on Windows 10, using LMMS V1.1.3, and tried plugins such as Anti-Transpirant, Synth1, Sonico, Splash, Lethality, Noizem4k3r, Dexed and other synth plugins that i cant remember, but you get the idea

Okay:
A few verified vst's on the Lmms wiki list, that I linked you to before, might
in some cases, take a few minutes to load properly, into lmms.

If some of them, take too long to load into lmms, then that means, there is
a problem.

Ok Lets test if VST works at all
Download MDA-Piano
http://mda.smartelectronix.com/synths.htm
It is very small in size, and you can just copy it to your folder. -Eg NO installation! Further its a quite good piano-instrument, so it is a win win
Insert that in your defined VST-folder:

No, that folder is for FX plugins. Don't do that please.
