A few questions: a) did you deselect the "Depedencies" choice in the Geany-Plugins installer? If so, this might be the reason. b) do you have all plugin DLLs in C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\lib\geany (more than the six bundled plugins? c) if not a) but b) then could you paste the output of Help>Debug Messages? This should give a clue why available plugins cannot be loaded
