@BlackHatSims Given that your game is crashing right away, and that you've tried almost everything else, this may well be caused by a Windows security update. But of course those updates are important in their own right, and uninstalling one should not be done lightly. I wrote a similar post on the same subject yesterday:

If you would like to avoid uninstalling the update, there may be other steps you can take. I don't have the latest Windows build myself, so I can't test on my own, but let me know if you'd like suggestions on steps that might help.
I read another poster's response about disabling the latest update which I have btw but I'm not willing to do that just yet however, looking back last Tuesday is when I got the update from Microsoft but I hadn't played the game until Thursday with no issues and on Friday is when all the trouble started. So it's either the Windows update or the September update but I'll un-install the Windows update to see if it's the culprit or not and I'll report back.
