IDE v2.2.2.413; Runtime v2.2.2.236

Whenever I test run a project file on GMS 2, I am returned with the error "Unable to find game!!: Project.win". I have tried reinstalling GMS 2 and the runtimes, and I always run GMS 2 as an adminstrator.

I've also tried:

- Deleting the temp folder
- Ensuring that all folders were in the same hard drive

Intel Core i7 6500-U @ 2.5GHz
GeForce 940M 2GB
16GB RAM

pls help me

It doesn't show any errors there like you mentioned. Where is the message "Unable to find game!!: Project.win".? Where when you try to compile does it show it? Is this the entire log output?

It wasn't the entire log file, but it was the last bit of it which I presumed would contain the error. However this is what I would get.

I'm unable to paste the full code onto here, but the log file is here:

As I await moderator approval for the last reply, I have discovered that the generated temp folders for the project on every test run is always empty, while a friend of mine tried testing his game file and it would generate a .win file every time (hence work). Any idea what this might be?

Have a good read and hopefully that will fix your problem. If not then post back here.
So thanks to that read, I figured out that my command prompt in general just doesn't open properly, and having made a new local account on my computer which ended up working, I was able to run command prompt just fine. Determining that the admin account was corrupted, I did a system reset. Now the game runs perfectly fine. Thanks a lot for your help friend :)
