I was playing earlier and had to take a break to work on something. My laptop is on the slow side so I’ve found it’s faster to save and then turn off the laptop itself and then turn it back on.
About 20 minutes later I finished what I had to do so I wanted to resume my game. The launcher loaded up without issue and I made it to the menu. I clicked on a save and resumed. After a minute I thought I might’ve picked the wrong save and since it takes forever to load I figured I’d just power down the laptop and redo the whole thing to make sure.
It was at this point that the launcher itself refuses to load. I’ve restarted my computer multiple times, tried running it as an admin, validated the integrity of the game files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and even tried reverting to an earlier version but no matter what I do the launcher itself won’t launch.
At this point I don’t know what else to try here. Would reinstalling steam itself do anything?

I feel like I should also mention that Launchers for eu4, vic2, and hoi4 all worked and I also tried a random non paradox game (fallout new Vegas) and that one worked fine too.
