Windows 10: Can't seem to uninstall/install app Epicgames, Adobe Premiere Pro, & a few more other apps....

I have a situation that I initially reached out to thesoftware owner who directed me to Microsoft.


Rocket League and Fortnite were previously downloaded tomy computer. I bought a new drive needed more space and proceeded to transfermy games from the old harddrive to the new one. All games transferred but EpicGames. So I thought, save the trouble and just uninstall and reinstall them onthe new drive.


Well, when I went to uninstall it gave me this errormessage Cannot install Epic Game Launcher due to error "The folder path'Epic Games' contains an invalid character.


I've tried to uninstall the normal way, throughpowershell, and through cmd and nothing let's me uninstall the game nor be ableto locate any of the file's folder to use the uninstall file. When I go toc:/windows/programsfiles, there aren't any EPIC folders. When i try to redownloadthe software from Epic .msi file, I immediately get this message when openingup their installer application "The folder path "Epic Games"contains an invalid character."


I've also realized that a few other apps won'tdelete off the computer even after it shows deleted from the programs andfeatures window. I also restarted multiple times and the files reappear back inthe programs and feature window. I've also tried to delete in safe mode and itdoesn't let me

I type the above error messages in google and was encouraged to download Restoro which I have and it did not fix anything, although I paid and their website and multiple others said it would fix the above. So i'm at a loss. I don't mind factory reset my computer, I just hate having to reinstall alllll these freaking apps.

Adobe Premiere Pro will not export

Hi guys. So I was having BSOD almost every time I would run Premiere Pro or any other graphics-heavy program, and it took about 5 days to get the issue resolved. I believe in the end some sort of driver or the BIOS being out-of-date was causing the issue. If you'd like, you can see the thread here

Now the laptop is running well again, and has been handling massive file transfers like a beast, as per usual. Lightroom is also working great, no issues at all.

But any time I try to export a video in Premiere, it either crashes or gives me an error. For 4k videos, as soon as I go file > export media... the program goes black and stops responding immediately.




With a 1080p video I got the following error:




I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and tried working with fresh projects. Same thing. I can import 650 4k photos for a timelapse, no issue. I can playback those frames just fine in the program. The problem seems to be just with exporting. I tried changing the Project settings "renderer" to "Mercury Playback Engine Software only" as some have suggested to people with this issue, but there were no changes.

Where do I go from here?
Windows version 2909

 

Adobe premiere pro on Win10

Have you tried running the .exe file itself, in case the shortcut is broken?

Find Adobe Premier Pro.exe in the installation folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 in my case) and try to run it from there.
