Do you have any other AVs? And did you run dxsetup.exe inside the directx folder in redists?

End any background processes related to Pluto or simply restart your PC. Either way, solves your issue.

@yNeji /moved Not sure what you mean. https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/4436/how-to-install-the-plutonium-launcher-plutonium-exe

@Nickman If you're on win7 the only way of getting pluto to work is by upgrading to win10. Make sure your launcher is the latest version (you can check that by looking at the filesize, latest one is 4123KB), if it's not download it from here: https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe. Install all redists and directx from the redist folder in your game folder. follow this video guide https://streamable.com/5giauo. run the launcher as admin.

@Dss0 Thanks, it worked for me

@radicaldestroyer https://streamable.com/5giauo this shows exactly what to do

@ampoine it's not intended but it's a false positive.

Try Running It As Administrator And Exclude It From Windows Security Software.

@FlappyDunk Post a screenshot of your defender exclusion settings Run the launcher as admin Delete the "players" folder in your game folder Make sure you have no overlays running (for example nvidia or msi afterburner)

@NotMyEkko Delete plutonium and plutonium.new (if you can't delete them, restart your pc and you should be able to) Download the launcher from here and try again https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe
