Troubleshooting JuliaPro is always a bit of a hassle because seemingly very few regular Julia users in this community use this pre-bundled Julia version.
The only advice I can give you is to install the current version of Julia directly from their website: Download Julia
With a bit of luck your problem will vanish afterwards.

There seems to be a version fight going on right now between DifferentialEquations and Plots. Every day I have Plots downgraded from 1.10.2 to 1.6.8 and GR downgraded to 0.52.0, which among other things has an annoying scaling problem (drawing charts 10x too big). Every day I have to manually force Plots to upgrade again, which then downgrades a bunch of other packages. This has caused my builds to be disrupted as well. I was able to find directions of forcing the rebuild of GR:

ENV["GRDIR"]=""
Pkg.build("GR")

perhaps some variation of this will work for Plots as well.

I have another question now!

using XLSX
using Plots
Data = XLSX.readxlsx(“VRPTW.xlsx”)
Xd=Data[“C101!E3:E28”]
Yd=Data[“C101!F3:F28”]

#Display the data
scatter(Xd,Yd)

but

Hello @Mahnazi and welcome. I always advice Windows users to use the Chocolatey package manager to install Julia
