Yellow on backgrounds of images, so i uninstall, and now can't reinstall at all

I had an issue with the backgrounds of my images (.png) as yellow, particularly around transparent or white areas. This had never happened until last week. I ran through some troubleshooting and i could either have the entire background of the pdf be yellow, or only the whites of the images be yellow. There was no other way to fix it within the application. 

So, someone suggests in one of these forum posts to uninstall it. Okay, so i uninstall it. That's fine. Then i try to reinstall it. Error 136. Retry. Error 136. Retry. Error 136. Now, the official text of Error 136 essentially says unable to install program. Why? Don't know. I doubt Adobe knows either. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-download-install-logs.html?trackingid=CZY71YK2&product-version=6.7.0.278&mv=product&mv2=accc#error136

So i try their troubleshoot of just installing from their download. Error 1406, Could not write value to key. Given we pay for this in an extortionist subscription based garbage that cost way more than the stand-alone licenses we used to have, why is it that despite spending more money, we get less services? Less AI garbage, Adobe, more fixes to your godawful code
