It worked! Were install issues on 4.0.19 a commonly reported issue or was this just a fluke?

So I just noticed that I accidentally posted this 3 times. Sorry about that, the very long log in the others made me think it didn't post because I got a php error so I posted again with the log attached.

Okay so I am using Paint.NET version 3.5.5 right now because I ended up having to get an older version because it would crash whenever I opened it and when I uninstalled and tried to reinstall it would just act like it was installing then crash (I made a forums post about it here but never got any sufficient help). It was working alright for a while although this version is lacking in many of the features I had grown to like (not replaceable by plugins) and thus I no longer use Paint.net very much. I have donated before although I somewhat regret that now. Anyway, a few days ago it began crashing when I would click the Utilites button although oddly I could still continue to use it if I just minimized the crash alert. (http://prntscr.com/i0480c) Help would be nice. I'm at the point where I may as well just switch to gimp. The crash log is attached (Way too long to post) pdncrash.log

So I downloaded version 3.5.5 and it worked. However, when I tried to update it did the same thing. The initial installation progress bar opens up and once it reaches 100% it closes. Another window opens up but closes immediately after. I guess I'll just have to use this version.

Did "sfc /scannow" and nothing was corrupt. Chkdsk returned the same result. I have no installed any new security software recently and it always worked before but I do have malwarebytes. I do not believe it is causing the problem as I disabled it to test whether I could install paint.net or not. My system is up to date. To clarify, I can install other programs, just not paint.net so it isn't a problem with my windows installer.

There's a similar thread here but the situations are different. I'm not getting any error messages at all. When I would start paint.net, everything would load but the canvas and then it would close. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall but whenever I run the install program, the initial thing pops up and I see the install bar and once it gets to 100% it closes. A few seconds later I'll see a window appear but then quickly disappear on the taskbar. I checked the processes and it doesn't appear to be running in the background when this occurs. I've tried to install older version of paint.net but none of them work either. I do have an error log from when I still had it installed and I'll put it here: Application version: paint.net 4.0.19 (Final 4.19.6484.39094) Time of crash: 12/23/2017 11:29:44 AM Application uptime:
