whenever i try to start stellaris i get a popup saying "Bootstrapper error. Could not start launcher."

i have tried everything i could find on google, all the way to wiping every trace of paradox from my PC, restarting, reinstalling, whitelisting to Anti-V, and running in admin.
as well as doing the same thing while completely disabling AV, on both steam and the paradox launcher.

if i force the stellaris.exe to run in admin it will open straight to the game, but no matter what i try i can't get the launcher to work.

Any solutions are greatly appreciated!
