Not finding plugins on windows

[mj8w]

Geany is installed at C:/Users/<name>/Geany 1.38. Plugins are installed at C:/Users/<name>/Geany-Plugins 1.38. Geany menu (Tools|Plugin Manager) only shows 6 plugins, I was expecting many more. Geany menu (Edit|Preferences) has "Enable plugin support" enabled. I have restarted several times, and set the "Extra plugin path" to the above path.

Am I doing something wrong?

Normally Geany and Plugins need to be installed to the same place.

Try setting Edit->Preferences->General->Startup to point to the directory holding the .dll files in your plugins.
