The game launcher isnt launching

Hi

I have a Steam version
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
Windows 11
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
Monitor 1920x1080 resolution

Stopped play in Swtor mounth ago, didnt have a problems with launching game accept troubles with connections to servers. Didnt delete Steam's game directory, by the way. Then I decided to return and subscribe again yesterday. And suddenly I encountered a problem - the launcher.exe application does not start at all. I am clicking PLAY at Steam or clicking desktop shortcut but nothing happens. Launcher.exe or swtor.exe applications is missing from task manager, even doesnt appear there

What did i do:
- checked verify the files by Steam - all is good, redownloading isnt requiring
- checked updates to video card - all is good
- checked antivirus - still disabled, its cant interfere
- checked .Net Framework and DirectX - having last versions
- checked Windows updates - downloaded all accept version 25H2 (some error 0x800f0989), but I played normally with that month ago
- tried Launcher's running as administrator or compatibility mode with Win8 - didnt help
- deleted Launcher.exe and did verify the files by Steam again - new launcher downloaded but the problem remains
- tried Launcher's running as administrator or compatibility mode with Win8 - didnt help
- downloaded installer from swtor.com and tried to repair game - nothing happened

The one thing I didnt do is redownloading all game. But I am not sure it will launch. See, SWTOR worked normally month ago - accept rare lags and bad connections. I think some update from Broadcast broke my launcher. Now something is interrupting a process. Well, other options?
