Unable to start:  Initialization error at start up.  135dec...

I'm sorry, yes, I completely disabled defender and firewall. My video card is on auto update, but I did check that as well. 

The Reliability Monitor is lovely. Did not know that.

I've attached 1 of 3 errors I received at 11 am this morning from running the monitor you provided. Because of attachment restraints, I've only added one.  Errors and cause are the same, numbers are different. Oddly enough, that is the only errors I have for Sims 4 besides the error I received trying to launch Dungeon Keeper from Origin, but I believe that's a separate issue.(Old game.)  

Between 11:12 and 11:20 am, these are the Stopped Responding Errors.

The program TS4_x64.exe version 1.61.15.1020 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

It asks me to check the security and maintenance control panel. And that may have before I disabled Windows Defender. No errors are listed after as such.  BUT, since then I have and uninstalled and reinstalled both Origin and Sims 4.

Every other game outside of Origin is running great. (Well, FO76 isn't, but that's not anyone but Bethesda's issue.)

I do not believe this is a hardware issue, as I am technically inclined and no other apps/game etc are having problem. 

I am certain this is a simple fix. Just need to find the right one. :D

Thank you!
