Firstly, thank you kindly for responding. This has been vexing me for awhile now.
I did search the computer and could not find the `\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3` anywhere on the PC. I'm guessing this is problematic somehow but I've no clue how to resolve it as I've done 3 clean installs now. There is a Larian Studios file in documents, though it opens to Baldur's Gate 3 - which is empty. Also searching AppData on the PC on all drives does not reveal anything related to Larian Studios or BG3.
