Most issues "immediately" after a patch can stem from the antivirus or firewall
initially remove and re-add exceptions for launcher.exe to the exception lists
You can try running the repair utility - link over the top of that install in case the AV has quarantined something
there is also a log folder in the main game folder with dated launcher logs , what does the very latest ones show ?
These are my latest logs

Also tried everything you said and still not working
Take the system to a clean boot per this link see if the launcher appears - if using streaming leave any bitraider services enabled in the clean boot.
see if any change at present
Still nothing happens.. funny thing though, the launcher only opens when its after 7pm or 8pm.
I'm serioulsy freaking out right now this is getting ridiculous.
So the launcher opens after 7pm and works ok ?
I will have a think on this overnight - what sort of net connection ? have you tried using a VPN to see if any affect ?
What Antivirus and firewall is being used ? and is there a firewall on the modem ?
