Check here for the location of the skin folder, you might want to unistall then reinstall. Make sure you get rainmeter from here https://www.rainmeter.net/

You can check the path of your Skins folder right clicking the Rainmeter icon in the Notification Area and clicking Edit settings. The SkinPath option under the [Rainmeter] section is tha path of the skins. Check it to be C:\Users\agura\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\.
However the Manage dialog should contain at least the illustro config. If it doesn't, that's extremely weird! Are you sure it is empty (probably it is based on the posted screenshot)?
Please do a clean install of Rainmeter: https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/clean-rainmeter-uninstall/
If this doesn't fix the issue, follow the steps described here: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=31244&p=159946&hilit=clean+install#p159946

Smells to me like there is some kind of security or permissions issue with your account, and Rainmeter is not able to create or write to the folder C:\Users\agura\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\.

Why? Is there any good reason for this? Maybe some software which has control over this? Weird. Anyway I doubt reinstalling Rainmeter in this case could help.
If you don't know and can't figure out, maybe you could try to move the skins to an accessible location. I've described in my previous reply how to do this. Move the skins to another partition, if needed.

This is going to be symptomatic of a larger issue with your user account, and Rainmeter is going to end up being the least of your troubles.


I'd be tempted to take these steps:

1) https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=30869#p157423
If that doesn't resolve it then:

2) Create a new account as an "Administrator" and see if that account works ok. If so, then just delete the account you are using now.
If that doesn't resolve it then:

3) Do a "clean" re-install of Windows from scratch.
