Are you sure this is a Pluto issue? What happens if you add Pluto to a temp environment without any other packages and use it from there?

This appears to be a Windows issue, maybe related to Java?

Do try in a temp environment as suggested by Nils.

Or set up a specific environment with the minimal number of packages.
