Tried verifying cache, reverting to previous version, reinstalling steam, reinstalling CK2, Repairing C++, Installing Direct X, running the game in 640X480, running the .exe and nothing works. I click to play the game, it goes to running for about 10 seconds then the launcher never appears and according to steam I'm not playing anything. Was working entirely fine the last two days and I can't find any solutions anywhere. Help?

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Please do a full **clean** re-install:
- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add steam.exe and ck2game.exe to the Exceptions list of your antivirus app
- start the game with no mods active and test
In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.

What antivirus app do you use? Add steam.exe and ck2game.exe to its Exceptions list.
Also if you have installed a gaming VPN app called Evolve, or the MSI Gaming App, disable it as it clashes with this game.
DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

That would explain it. I use Evolve and after disabling it CK2 is working perfectly fine. Thank you so much!
