@phil12345678910 That looks like windows. The exception suggests a registry problem.
As nobody has replied and I see nothing in the Pd-list it is maybe safe to assume that you are the only one suffering.
Which version did you download and did you install it or is it the portable version.
There are still 32-bit versions on the download page...... https://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data ... and quite a few experimental versions of 56.2 at the moment.
Did you get the right one?

I only have Pd-Extended actually installed.
I keep up to date in windows using the portable version (64-bit for me) and I have no problems with the current 0.56-2 second bugfix release.
Maybe try the portable version to see if you have the same problem.
You cannot start the portable version with a double-click of a patch file.... that will open the version that you have installed instead.
You have to open it (Pd) and then open the patch from the Menu open dialog in the console...
