Digital Editions worked the first day and the next day it wouldn't. I have reinstalled and now Digital Editions won't open at all.

Windows 11

Same problem. Except I can't even uninstall it. The files exist in the Programs folder, and ADE appears in the list of programs. But if I try to open it, open it as administrator, uninstall it, or open any epub, I get the same message: Windows cannot find the file. This is ridiculous.

I'm also using Windows 11. It worked on Windows 10 on my old laptop.

Help? Is there some other way to read epub files?

Update: I pseudo-uninstalled by manually deleting all ADE folders. Then following guidance in a Windows forum, I backed up the registry, then deleted the Adept folder from the registry using regedit (and the ADE folders for good measure). Then restarted and reinstalled. It still didn't work, so I uninstalled manually again, then ran CCleaner, then reinstalled. Now it seems to work. I guess it was a registry issue?
