It seems python any plugins I try to use doesn't work. Substance Painter version is 10.1.1, installed on Win 11 Pro 23H2, even after clean reinstall of SP, scripts still doesn't work. Ofc I put plugins in correct folder, double checked. One of the scripts I tried is from here https://helpx.adobe.com/substance-3d-painter-python/tutorials/creating-a-python-plugin.html, 

But plugin doesn't load, no custom_export in Python menu, nothing. I included error message.

Based on the error, looks like you need to update to PySide6 in your environment for v10.1+

Am also having this issue. Rolling back to version 9.1.2 lets me load the plugins, but then I can't open any working files I saved in v10.0.0+. Have deleted and reinstalled versions 10.0.0 to 10.1.1 with no luck.

Update, I fixed it.

 

Needed to uninstall painter + delete it's entire folder in program files. Then reinstall.
