I seem to be completely unable to install qBittorrent as it force closes with no error message when I try to accept the license agreement. So far I have tried turning off the firewall, making an exception for it in Windows defender, disabling reputation based protection, and of course reboots, but nothing works.

I've seen other posts of people with the same issue on other forums but none of them had any solutions. Has anyone experienced this? How does one actually install this program?

Another way to install qbittorrent is through docker, but I dont know if that's possible on windows, but I'd imagine it is.

It is, but there are some barriers not present on a *nix OS. Docker runs on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as a prerequisite.
