Cant Patch even after following recommendations and reinstall

Please help. I get the message could not overwrite executable with new patched executable even after completely uninstalling and deleting all Poe files and reinstalling. I have never had this issue and have been playing since 2020

I even go into the path of exile program folder and cannot find an .exe or a .tmp file. I took screenshots but cant seem to upload them to this post

Cancelling the update and then kicking off a new one usually makes that message go away. You don’t need to be in admin mode.

You need to upload pictures to something like imgur. Then you get the BBCode of the pictures and paste that link in here. Pictures should then load
Found this in another post... try this if the file exists...

Go to the path of exile folder and delete PathOfexile.exe, then rename PathOfExile.tmp to PathOfExile.exe and run it.
