I've tried switching my Game Ready Driver to a Studio Driver within Geforce experience and manually installing an older graphics driver.

I've tried every possible combination : creating the plugins folder, using the plugins folder in AppData/Roaming, pointing towards a folder within the preference menu in C4D.

I'm doing the steps correctly, as I installed it on my laptop without any issues and I've been using Octane for years without installation ever being an issue. I'm starting to think that it comes from my computer but I'm at a loss.

Then I tried installing on several versions of C4D, same issues. I'm wondering if anyone would have some pointers towards a solution? At first I thought it was the Octane version, but I switched to 4 different versions and the issue stayed the same. Regardless of which release of Octane I'm trying to install and the C4D version the Octane plugin does not show up in the tool bar in Cinema 4D. Hey, I'm trying to install the Octane plugin on my new stationary computer.
