For some reason the .NET version DS4Windows tells you to download incorrect. Download the correct .NET framework from there instead https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases

@GLOYKB try reinstalling Windows, like from a flash drive. After that, download DirectX and VC_Redist, and all of the following programs you'd possibly need.

@imsarahh if it didn’t work then it won’t be on there, simple.

We know there've been multiple attempts to scrape the publicly accessible user data (username, id, email if the user has opted-in to show it, etc.) and the dump in question is most likely from one of those attempts. Since noticing this (last year) we've added several mitigations, and haven't seen such attempts for quite a long time now. As far as we can tell no sensitive information have been leaked, which is why we haven't formally disclosed these attempts. EDIT: See https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/25366/notification-of-plutonium-forum-databreach-september-2021

@ZombieRich101 yeah man im in the same boat along with tons of others. BUT dont worry its your pc and not the launcher! (if you're on windows 11 that is most likely the issue, everyone having this issue is on windows 11)

A screenshot is better than very vague text

@sKyL0 yea we're gonna need a bit more info than that. Any error messages?

ok i've found a fix, you have to literally factory reset your fucking pc, that's how i fixed it at least, so you're practically fucked unless if you want to start from scratch i believe

First what is your antivirus? Even if it's disabled mention it Also mention any other extra security tool you may have like Malware Bytes

@RoCH_GaMe If it does not register any VPN's available on your PC but still doesn't work, then you should perform a fresh system installation. Seriously. My friend had an issue with FiveM servers because of supposed VPN (he didn't have one), and clean reinstall fixed his problem.

@FakeZura said in Plutonium.exe not working: Plutonium Still isnt working for me like i open it and the curser does the loading thing then stops and nothing happens im just so confused ive literally done everything

@Husky1 what ivanovich_ said. I don't see how plutonium could be causing something like that, we don't modify any system files or settings that could somehow break your windows installation. Most likely caused by something else.

Update DirectX and Visual C++ and ur graphic card drivers

Explain your issue clearly and screenshot the error, what you said doesn't make sense. If you are on Windows 10 you cannot get a Windows 7 error
