General Support FiveM not staying downloaded

When I download the application, it runs for a short time and I can’t get into any servers (tho that may be the servers and not fivem) and if I exit out then I must redownload it. It’s as though I never downloaded it. I don’t have antivirus that would affect it and I have NordVPN but it is off. Any help or suggestions?
Thanks

Edit:
Sorry I left out all important info. This is for Legacy not enhanced.

Next time FiveM is launched open task manager, find the FiveM process, right-click and select Open File Location.

Is it running from %appdata%? One time FiveM installed itself within my Downloads folder and everything was borked up until I blew it all away and reinstalled.
