      If I have not ran any of the .exes Is the pc safe that has downloaded them?

      Do you have an antivirus program running ? If you haven't run them, you'll probably be ok - just delete the .exe files.

        No antivirus whatsoever

        No windows protection either

              Seems a little odd considering this how place is about retro gaming and kind of revolves around roms, why is this?

                      By configuration settings, you mean the items in the RetroPie system, or when you start RetroPie-Setup from the RetroPie menu ? Which settings are you trying to change ?

                        Do you have a 4k display ? Try setting the resolution to 1080p using the Raspi-Config utility in the RetroPie system.
