First, issue is resolved for me.
Second when TexGen was doing nothing but exiting all I did was install ".NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.15" instead of ".NET Runtime 6.0.15"
I used the x64 version of TexGen from the start. I only installed both x64 and x86 versions of .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.15 to cover my bases for the future for other applications.
Edit: I had no "crapware" running in either situation, only difference was the change in .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.15 package
