gINT cannot locate a gINT library

I am having a reoccurring issue with not being able to open gINT.  I am running version 10.02.00.04 on a Windows 10 Pro machine (version 1909) and am getting the loop error that has been reported in the past:

gINT cannot locate a gINT library

Please browse to your library file

If you do not select a library gINT must exit

Attempts to select a library results in the message popping up again.

I have uninstalled gINT and the 32-bit Access Database, reinstalled gINT from the Bentley website and let gINT reinstall the Access Database, then restart the computer.  This does work, but only temporarily.  I have turned off Windows updates in attempt to stall Windows from changing the Access Database with updates.  However, it seems that every time I come back to try and open gINT (a few days to a week or two later), I'm right back to square one and have to do this whole process over again.

What is the permanent fix that can be implemented so that this issue can be resolved and it is no longer necessary to uninstall and reinstall every time I would like to use this program?
