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...

@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

        I have exactly the same issue. I bought a new NEO Predator laptop, downloaded the game, I click on PLAY and it goes nowhere.
