now its been a week since I last ran wine, and I did do 2 changes since then

A)renamed the user and the workspace.
B)system update including Kernel (the recent Manjaro update)

originally I figured it must be related to the renaming so I removed the .wine folder and tried to create a new .wine by running winecfg, which you can see the results for above. then I figured maybe its because I was running wine-staging so I downgraded to the normal wine version and now running 5.3 but I am still getting same error.

OS: Manjaro, 64bit arch
