Which GUI are you using? An older one or the updated one by FrankB.
ExifToolGUI on GitHub

I'm running Exiftool 12.85 with the most up to date version of Win 10. I tried the github version and that one wont install nor will the exiftoolGUI. I did however install perl first I don't if that's what causing the issue. Note! The only ExiftoolGui that would load was version 6.3.2 but that did nothing. I'm trying to modify jpeg's and PDF files. What am I missing. Does this tool still work ?

A short answer to your question: Yes the tool still works!

From the info you provide I'm unable to tell where it goes wrong. Some common pitfalls:

1) Windows doesn't trust an exe that you download. Click on More info and then Run Anyway.



2) Lately the tool has been plagued by MS Defender claiming it's a virus. Check your antivirus history.

If that does not apply, please provide more info. Exactly what you do, screenshots of errors. Screenshots of the taskmanager etc.
