Finally this seems to have fixed the problem , I didn't know of the folders in Local and Roaming.

False positive, after having switched off pc , restarted, relaunched the game, again the same issue with that annoying box!
C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
ALso perhaps wrth noticing that in roaming there were forming two folders one for paradox launcher v2 and one for paradox
Now I even tried redoing the whole procedure, deleting everything and reinstalling , as before worked and I could play some but now didn't work and I just only get this annoying message box .

No issues in those logs. There should be a cpatch.log also?
The game still runs from Victoria3.exe okay?

I have done again all the circle of steps, uninstalling, deleting everything, relaunch with admin steam ,reinstall and launch , again it worked for once, but then when I restarted the game, again the same issue, everytime I should do all that perhaps to play the game is not normal , also looks like it takes the game crashes for some reason even if is not crashed at all . The game works fine from launching from EXE , but it doesnt record achievements.
Again, no errors in that log!
Probably you get an older launcher version after a clean reinstall, but then the problem comes when it updates itself to 2023.16 - would that be right? What launcher version do you see after that clean reinstall?
I just restarted the game today and again the problem , the launcher says : 2023.16 .... now I make a clean reinstall once again.
Ok I have tried another thing and this seems to solve somehow the issue, I just had to launch the steam application as Administrator, if I do launch that way the game starts, if I do launch normally it doesn't ... what can it be and how could I fix that?
That means that either there is a Windows file system problem, or an antivirus app or similar is getting in the way.
I did add the game to exclusions of my Antivirus, which is Avast, I do not have the same problem with other paradox games so far.
Hard to say then. I'm not familiar with Avast , is it possible it has more than one exceptions list/whitelist?
And, can you prevent it from doing realtime scans of the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders ?

Avast Antivirus has been known to cause problems with Paradox games in the past - https://support.paradoxplaza.com/hc/en-us/articles/203088438-Avast-Antivirus-crashes-the-game (the linked article refers to CK2, but the solution would be the same for Victoria 3 binaries).
