STABLE version -- 4.2.10.171

[Admini]

Sadly tried everything that I could from both those links and nothing seemed to fix the issue. I feel at this point it's just not going to work anymore. I do plan on doing a fresh install of the windows 10 OS whenever the May 2020 update comes out fully so hopefully that will fix whatever the issue is, but until then I guess I'm fine with running the portable version as it's better than nothing.

Not sure what is the reason.
Maybe you can try disabling your anti-virus.
Another possible reason is conflict with some other software.
