So I have installed ADE 4.5 on my computer with windows 10 and I was using it without a problem till yesterday. I shut down my computer yesterday after my reading, then today morning when I restarted my computer and tried to open digital editions 4.5, it will not open. I have tried uninstalling it and then re-installing it all over again without any success. I have not updated, installed, or changed anything since yesterday when digital editions was working properly. How do I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.
