Unable to load Pluton-Windows firmware.
Interesting — when I search for “Pluton” in this community, the results only include “Plugin”.
I know Dell recommends ignoring Windows Event Viewer, but out of curiosity I checked it anyway. On every boot I see this warning in the System log:
“Unable to load Pluton-Windows firmware. StatusCode: STATUS_SUCCESS, Reason: Failed to apply firmware.”
Any idea how to fix this?
Dell Precision 3590
BIOS 1.19.1

See here

That platform requires an AMD Ryzen CPU or Qualcomm Snapdragon, or a series 2 Intel core (Arrow Lake) CPU. Your system uses a Series 1 (Meteor Lake) CPU, so it won't support Pluton.

Sorry, this is a waste of time. Processes are more important than content. I thought someone here might have had the same experience.
