Updated NVIDIA drivers - game won't start
So, I've mentioned this in another thread, but decided to make another one, since said thread has a slightly different problem.
I have 175 hours in DA:I and been moving through it very thoroughly,...

I use Avast antivirus. Didn't disable it before, while the game was working, as it never tried to block it. But just in case disabling it every time I try to launch it now.
If it helps, by the way, the game starts in windowed mode, then goes to the fullscreen. Screen turns black and it loads the default DA:I cursor. However, before the loading symbol appears in the right corner of the screen, I get thrown back to Origins window, from here I usually launch. So no game load seems to be going.
As for DiaX, I might have been doing something wrong? I use this guide, since I rarely make logs and never leaned deeply how to find other information in the log. So I just might be missing the point. If I'm using the wrong guide to gather info, that's the case.
The crash appeared before I moved the saves. My first thought was "well, I have a corrupted save file", so I've reinstalled the game and was going to launch it, and if it did work, I'd slowly drag old saves one by one in "Saves" folder to see which one is broken and just delete it. But clean game never launched, so I didn't have to even try. And I've disabled Cloud long ago, since on occasions it had problems with synchronising which bothered me quite a bit. Therefore, I always disable it these days.
And, yeah, I'm 'special'. I could've screwed up pretty badly, as it was my first animation attempt.
It seems so far what's been working is restoring system to the beginning of this month every time PC is booted.
Guild for DiaX is fine, it is just odd, that your are having crashes, yet no reports of them at the end when USUALLY at the end of the DiaX file there is a heading Diagnostics and it will list five or more crash info. You can go to just about any other DiaX file here and open them and look at the very bottom of the report and see what I mean.

So what you are saying now is, if you revert your computer to a month ago, the game plays, but if you restart it doesn't??
I know you disable it, but can your try putting Exclusions in your AV as well...sounds silly I know, BUT I saw a post that someone made here that said they had to do exclusions on AVAST because for some reason just disabling wouldn't work...don't know if funny things are going on with AV but hey, what would it hurt to try....??
Do you have Geforce experience on your computer...the Nvidea program that you updated your computer with the first time?? Is it set to run automatically?? What settings are on it??
Do you have Windows set to automatically update or is it only when you select?? Can you check to see when the last update was logged for your system??
