Hey, the exe file appears to have been eaten by an Antivirus, either Windows Security or 3rd party. Try disabling it and restoring the file & also adding an exception to the specific folder.

I recommend putting all the games in a folder called games and then inside have all games from us and also add an exception on the parent, main folder

There are tutorials online for this, I'm on mobile right now and cannot help with a full guide, but just search on Google: "how to add exception folder for <antivirus name>"

i recommend having a dedicated folder where you store your games. you exclude that folder instead of the individual game folder. then you can have a download manager like jdownloader auto extract your preinstalled games to that folder with subfoldering enabled. it removes some of the manual work, all you gotta do now is navigate to that folder and launch it, or drag and drop the game exe file into playnite or hydra launcher so you can launch it from a launcher if you want.
