v2.6.2.2 - This plugin failed to load.

Updated to v2.6.2.2 late tonight after running the previous versions without issues. Now the plugin fails to load with this log entry:

I'm reading that Windows Defender is unhappy about one of the DLLs IINACT ships with. Try excluding %AppData%/XIVLauncher in Windows Defender, uninstall the plugin in /xlplugins and reinstall.

Confirmed that Windows Defender picked up the Machine.FFXIV.dll - after excluding %appdata%\XIVLauncher, deleting the plugin, relaunching, and then re-installing the plugin everything appears to be fully functional again. Thanks for the advice!

Can you recheck with the problem still happens with Defender without whitelisting on 2.6.2.3?

[abitlegacy]

I removed the whitelist and updated. It still loads and functions correctly without the whitelist.
