Cannot Download the new patch (0.1.0e) (workaround found)

Standalone Client
Windows 10

Could not update before the initial issues with patching, and cannot still.

Getting an error:

"Could not overwrite executable with new patched executable. Please Make sure that PathOfExile.exe or PathOfExile.tmp are not still running. If necessary, you may need to reboot your computer."

What I tried already:

1. Ran as Administrator
2. Rebooted my PC multiple times
3. Deleted PathOfExile.exe, PathOfExile.tmp, and Client.exe and re-downloaded the installer from PoE2 website
4. Ran PackCheck.exe (just in case)
5. Checked multiple times that no such process is running before trying to install the patch

No Anti-Viruses or VPNs running, Firewall/Defender is disabled.

No issues with patching before, played PoE2 since the release day
