[BUG] precompiling Plots.jl crashes in Julia 1.6.1 on Windows 10

[YKamer]

Hello I am a total noob in Julia so I don't know how to fill in the bug report table properly.
Here is the gist of it: after issuing the "using Plots" command on version 1.6.1 the compilation crashes. I switched to version 1.4.2 and it works. Attached is a link containing the the bug report.

I am getting a similar error, also on Windows 10 using Julia 1.6.1.

After deleting C:\Users\username\.julia I add Plots and it gets stuck during precompilation. I Ctrl+C to interrupt precompilation, exit and reopen the Julia REPL, and then do using Plots, which results in the following:

... followed by LoadErrors for Tables.jl, GeometryBasics.jl, and Plots.jl.

The above error message is for Plots v1.14.0 but I get similar errors for v1.13.2, although the first LoadError is for DataValueInterfaces.jl followed by Tables.jl, GeometryBasics.jl, and Plots.jl.

After restarting my computer I deleted the .julia folder again and this time I was able to add and precompile Plots successfully.

After restarting my computer I deleted the .julia folder again and this time I was able to add and precompile Plots successfully.

Mine also crashed on 1.7.0-beta2 version. I deleted .julia like you, and then Plots could be precompiled, but I need to download all other packages again.

Some thing wrong happened to my internet when I add Plots for the first time, and then when I tried to precompile, Julia mentioned me to check for duplicate calls to include.
