All sorts of errors with plugins, weird but the samsung disk scan suggested recovery for the drive which has failed due to an unknown error.

Greyed out, nothing doing anywhere.
As I explained in our chat room. Greyed out is not representative of 'not working'.
Greyed out = Installed outside of SketchUp's ecosystem
I think your issues are bigger than 3rd party extensions.
If you run Windows own Disk Check what is the report?
So right click your drive, choose Properties, Tools tab and click Check
-
Weird, this suggests an error on the E drive which the other scanning programs report as healthy.

I think a less ;busy' tile texture will work better on this machine and there is no artificial lighting in that render.
Native Sketchup lighting only.

@Mike-Amos very nice, I like the concept.
-
Ta, simple enough which I do like myself. Flat packable too.

Perfect!

@Mike-Amos Nice result! Those lanterns could use some sphere lights for extra effect.
-
Ta, agreed. As could the interior lights. Another D'uh moment in life's drawer full. I just forgot while setting up the scene which means I should think a bit more or render earlier in the evening.....
Oh well, next time I hope I will remember.....

You would want to place the sphere lights (point lights) in the middle of the lanterns. If you place them inside the bulb, then add some transparency to the light bulb.
I attached an example (mike_lantern_example.skp) of how to configure sphere lights. In the scene below, I have three lights with the following configuration:
- Light temperature 3000K to get a warm color.
- 50W power for each light.
- Radius of 0.10m to make the shadows softer.
I dimmed the environment to low strength to make the lights stand out.
Light configuration in SketchUp:
That should help you tune the lights in your scene.
