I have uninstalled, reinstalled multiple times. Tried the pre-release version. Tried enabling long paths. Even tried resetting windows as a last ditch effort, nada. Please help, I just want to build some firmware for my 3d printer!

After removing the extension in VSCode, did you fullly remove the C:\Users\<user>\.platformio folder too?

What operating system are you trying to install PlatformIO on?

I’m running windows 11. Thanks for the reply, I did fix it, but I resorted to backing up my machine on an external drive and resetting windows again, this time with the ‘erase all files’ setting applied.

Yes I thought I had deleted all traces of them but clearly I had not. Thanks for the reply.
