My environment is Windows 10 with

```julia
using Pkg
println("Julia v", VERSION)
Pkg.status("IJulia")
Pkg.status("PyCall"; mode = PKGMODE_MANIFEST)
Pkg.status("Plots")
Pkg.status("PyPlot")
Pkg.status("Plotly")
Pkg.status("StaticArrays")
Pkg.status("Parameters")

```

↓

```julia
Julia v1.6.2
      Status `D:\.julia\environments\v1.6\Project.toml`
  [7073ff75] IJulia v1.23.2
      Status `D:\.julia\environments\v1.6\Manifest.toml`
  [438e738f] PyCall v1.92.3
      Status `D:\.julia\environments\v1.6\Project.toml`

I use Plots.jl v1.20.1 installed in the directory

```julia
D:\.julia\packages\Plots\HcxwM

```

But your Plots.jl directory is

```julia
C:\Users\Hermesr\.julia\packages\Plots\hyS17

```

Your hyS17 is not equal to my HcxwM.

Probably you are using an older version of Plots.jl due to conflicts with other packages.

First, upgrade installed packages by

```julia
pkg> up

```

and check if Plots.jl is upgraded to version ≥ v1.20.1 or not.

If not, restart Julia in an empty directory and run

```julia
pkg> activate .
pkg> add Plots
pkg> status

```

Confirm the version of Plots.jl is ≥ v1.20.1. Then try to run my code.
