Question / Help Instacrash, then installation error...

[mnemonictutor]

So my machine did an update today, and when I tried to launch OBS, it flickered on the screen, then crashed. It did this repeatedly. So I uninstalled it, and when I attempted to reinstall it, it fails with an error. Interestingly enough, this thing will not let me upload the screenshot of the error, so I've posted relevant information below. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Windows Version: Win 10 Pro - 10.0.14393 Build 14393
Error: Error opening the file for writing: C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\Qt5Core.dll

Reboot your PC and run the installer again, or check that it's not still running in the task manager.

As an old school Windows user, who has been on Mac for over a decade now, I distinctly remember why I left Windows and have not looked back. Unfortunately, if you want to game on a PC, Windows is kind of the only game in town. Thanks for the advice, it kind of worked. I say kind of because the app still flickers and "crashes" when I launch it, but it is running in the system tray. When I click on that, it opens as it should on the desktop. This was not the behavior before the update, but I'll take it as is. Let's see if it actually works....
