I wanted to try some of my notebooks on Windows 11 and I found that the `Plots.jl` package is not able to produce any of the plots I have. This is the code I want to run in Pluto
```julia
using Plots
plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3])
```
and the stacktrace I got is
```julia
Failed to show value:

I was able to reproduce the error in two different machines with a fresh Julia 1.8.2 install. Pluto is v0.19.14.

Plots version ?

The one that the Pluto package manager downloads. I guess is the most recent one?

Can you update your packages and show the output of `pkg> st -m Plots GR GR_jll` ?

This is the output
```julia
[28b8d3ca] GR v0.69.5
[91a5bcdd] Plots v1.35.8
[d2c73de3] GR_jll v0.69.1+0
```
I tried running again the Pluto Notebook and it seems to work now. I guess it was a problem with an update of the Plots.jl package involving the GR backend?

Probably the same issue as explained in [GKS: svgplugin.dll: can't load library, error 126 (0x7e) · Issue #487 · jheinen/GR.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/issues/487#issuecomment-1302127100), caused by the recent `GR_jll` update (which is now yanked).
