Clicking on PLAY closes the Launcher, but game won't launch

I've been playing this game for a few days on my new laptop and it's been running smoothly However, just earlier until now, once I click play, the launcher promptly closes, but the game doesn't open...

    Edited client_setting.ini. It did not have any of those lines so I had to add them.

    Removed and re-added SWTOR to Windows Defender & Windows Firewall.

    Still the same outcome - nothing is coming out after the launcher closes.

    @proxos666 I also just ran a clean boot as outlined in the link - still no changes.

      Reset my PC as a last resort, SWTOR now functions normally. Shame I couldn't find the solution properly.

        The error returned. The game was still running yesterday, and I haven't downloaded anything after playing.

        I looked at Windows Update History and there have been updates that I can't roll back, I'm guessing those are the culprits.

        In any case, I've revoked resetting my PC as a solution - there seems to be a conflict between SWTOR and recent Windows Updates rollout.

        Til then, I don't think I will be able to play the game.

        Was wondering where I could reach out to inform devs about this issue
