Pro Tools won't open

[bozmillar]

Windows 10 latest version.
Pro Tools latest version (2022.4).
I've tried all the basic troubleshooting: Reboot computer, trash prefs, uninstall and reinstall protools, turn off windows defender, run as administrator.

I'm guessing that Pro Tools does not have permissions to read many of the necessary files to open correctly.

Exhibit A) When I open Pro Tools, it tells me these plugins are not valid 64 bit plugins.

These are not in the AAX Plugins folder. These are core aax plugins that are required for protools to run. Even if I select to move them (which I shouldn't) I can't because it says Access is denied.

After getting passed this, I get this message: Pro Tools has encountered an unrecognized component and must now exit.

My only option is to click "OK" after which it exits.

Has anybody seen anything similar and remember how to fix it? I'm at a loss.
