Windows Can't run games or reinstall

I installed the trial version today to play around with, but whenever I try and test a game I get an error message saying "Unable to find game!!: [game name].win" (full log below).

I tried deleting my project and starting a fresh one with barely anything in, and I've tried running as administrator but get the same error. I thought reinstalling might help (maybe installing on my primary hard drive?) but I can't uninstall either; the uninstaller gives me the "Game maker is still running, close it before continuing" message. I can't find any processes in task manager that seem to relate to it, and this message persists even in safe mode. Googling hasn't helped so far.

So, Ideally I'd like to get it working but failing that, can anyone help me get this off my PC?

Edit: I've also tried disabling Avast and removing Malware Bytes but it hasn't had any affect
