@PurplePlumbob You could try setting your default browser to Edge, just temporarily and to see whether it helps. It shouldn't matter, but then you've already demonstrated that Chrome is at least partly to blame here.
The fact that the launcher works in the new account makes it clear that the problem is in the main account, but it can often be difficult to find the problem, whether it's a user setting or a permissions issue or something else entirely.
I tried making Microsoft Edge my default browser, but no dice. At this point, I've tried signing in and out of all of my Microsoft accounts, tinkering with the advanced settings and resetting both Chrome and Edge several times. I'm at a bit of a loss right now. The only thing I remember altering between now and when my game was last working was the Microsoft Authenticator app. However, I've since reverted the change I made back to how it was before, and still no luck. I'm going to start delving into my custom content to see if something's wrong there. It's a long shot, but it's worth a try at this point.
Edit: The only other thing to note is that I began receiving a lot of script errors around the time that this problem arose. Could that have anything to do with it?
@PurplePlumbob Scripterrors would have nothing to do with this problem. The errors are entirely based on what's happening in the running game, and the mods that generate them have no effect on or access to the launcher data that isn't working for you.
I don't really know what to tell you here, unfortunately. You could try running the takeown command on Documents, on the off chance that this is a permissions issue, but I don't think it is. See this for more details:

Aside from that, I would suggest simply keeping the secondary account for when you need it, and otherwise not signing into the launcher or game. You're not missing much by skipping this step, only some badges and access to Simport.
