SWTOR Launcher crash on startup

So, my problem is that the Launcher itself can not start. I always see the "border frame" of the launcher for about one or two seconds, then it disappears. Nothing ever happens after that and there i...

    I was right about my nvdia being the problem, i tried starting the game by using the intel card and everything workes fine now. I remember reading about an article which told me that - since the intel cant be used for the game - my pc would be forced to use the nvdia instead, and well, it appears that the article was right. 

    Thank you anyway for the effort you made with helping me, and i hope you cpild sleep well.

I doubt Owen will have problems with few word German in it but he has ample option to ask if translation is an problem.

What I can see on an fast overlook,

Your system is Set to English not German,

Your free Disk Space isn't really that big, could be at least some part of the problem,

Your Windows shows Update errors.

Hmm, when i try to change the system language it already tells me that it is in german, can you maybe explain a bit more detailed what you mean then? And i should have more than enough disk space for swtor, 66GB free disk space are enough as far as i can remember, especially since it takes only about 30 GB on the PC of a friend of mine. 

Finally the Windows Updates, what am i supposed to do? I never got any warning messages or similar,thus i'm kinda clueless. I doubt that fixing these errors would help, i've never encountered any problems which could be fixed by updating the system but it's worth a try.

    I just did a fast overlook on the dxdiag,

    The dxdiag says your Language is set to English, that can make problems, but it can also mean nothing.

    66Gb free Disk Space is hard on the boarder on the whole system will not longer work, I remeber 1/3 free disk Space on HDD as an good mark,

    Windows Updated and Swtor can use a lot of Space, and there are a lot of processes that use Disk Space while running.

    The Windows Update Error could be related to Virus-scanner, if you use an other then the Windows Defender try to unload that, and try your Updates again

    General System Updates are Important for Safety and Stable Running.

      yeah, i'm currently working on solving these update problems, but i have to mention that everything else on my computer is  working as intended (at least everything i use on a regular basis, would be a lot of work to test everything). So while i'm trying to fix these problems i freed up som disk space too, 125GB free diskspace is all i could do though. 1/3 of free space on the HDD is a bit ridicoulous anyway, at least with 500GB+. There is no way that programs can use about 180GB Diskspace in the Background since the HDD itself wont even be able to keep up with managing that amount of data. 

      The Virus-Scanner i use is the Windows Defender as mentioned before, but disabling this one did not help, neither did the firewall or adding swtor to the exception lists. 

      So while i'm working on my update problems i would be thankful for any aditional tips you guy's can give me.

        HDD space is fine in my view

        Can you install this Intel driver (Link) and then install this Nvidia driver (Link) advise if any change 

        Both the drivers intel in particular (2014) you have are older.
