Thank you. 
I have been having trouble with launching some Paradox Interactive games (namely Stellaris) for quite some time and have been having various problems including, a database migration error, which has a non-persistent remedy (I have to delete the launcher .sql every-time before I boot the game), when I can launch into the game the game would ignore the resolution settings set in the launcher and when trying to change them in-game the game would claim that the settings could not be saved due to the folder being write-protected, I try to correct this in both Windows as well as setting the Paradox launcher with an exception in AVG but nothing seems to help, and the game crashing whenever I close the game or try to start a new game. I am also providing a link to the forum post I have lodged on the Paradox forums detailing what I am having problems with and the solutions I have tried: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/constant-database-migration-error-crashing.1506450/#post-28009004
