    When I try to open the launcher it tells me that it failed because my "c" drive is being used by another process.

      • 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

                Dss0 I have another antivirus other than Windows and I can't turn that one off.

                  M508 You're gonna have to exclude C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Plutonium from scanning otherwise the game will most likely not work. I don't know of an antivirus that doesn't have an option to exclude files and folders.

                    Dss0 It worked fine yesterday. And I didn't have any scanning on and I still don't.

                      M508 Well this exact thing happened to ppl using windows defender, it stopped working one day because defender updated it's definitions (as most av's automatically do) and detected the bootstrapper all of a sudden. Which av are you using?

                        I'm also having this same issue. I have followed a few threads, as well as the video guide above and it still isn't working.

                          Vyros try deleting C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Plutonium and running the launcher as admin.

                            This seems to have worked. Thank You!
