I am unable to reproduce this on multiple machines

Would you please try uninstalling and then installing Irfanview and irfanviewplugins?
You may need to run choco install irfanviewplugins --version=4.67.0 to install the latest version

Thanks

Thank you, uninstalling irfanview and irfanviewplugins and reinstalling them solved it. Installing 4.66.0 and then upgrading also seems to work now. Not sure what went wrong before, maybe something with my outdated chocolatey version.
