TLDR: disable this: https://prnt.sc/G_tgqOUnW128
FINALLY FIXED!!!
Oh God, a week troubleshooting and it was effing Discord!!
Did what you asked: disabled everything at launch, and it went fine. Loaded up the usual suspects (nVidia, Adobe, sound switchers, MSI, etc).
Everything fine. UNTIL I launch Discord, then after mere seconds, crash. I shut it down, load the game, goes fine. I load Discord, crash.
After some googling, apparently (careful, you're about to read some tinfoil stuff) Discord is ALWAYS ready to stream or it's streaming all the time.
Disabling all these settings makes the game work: https://prnt.sc/G_tgqOUnW128
Baffled, but solved. Leaving this open for whomever might encounter the same issue.
Many thanks, Proxos666!
