If you run into this, you should:

  1. Open an Admin command prompt (or admin powershell). You can do this by pressing Windows Key + X and selecting it from the menu.
  2. Run taskkill /f /im talon.exe
  3. Run taskkill /f /im talon_console.exe
  4. Install Talon immediately at this point. Do not restart your machine before installing Talon.
