Yes. In order to run pirated content I had to run through a couple of hours of troubleshooting to disable the Microsoft anti-malware software, which would quarrantine and refuse to restore software without consent.
Pluton is a new name and may be Windows 11. Hopefully you can uninstall it with a third-party utility (windows utilities won't let you, and doing it by hand involves mucking around with the registry.l
I'm going to make the switch to Linux once I can brave it because Windows is malware and spyware and getting worse with each iteration.
If it took you a few hours to figure out how to play a pirated video then a Linux isn't for you.
No one likes gate keeping. Ideally Linux would be easy for people at any level to switch to.
