@Lys - Unfortunately, the time has come for us to stop supporting windows 7. It left even ESU at the start of this year, and IT takes a dim view of us running machines under those circumstances. Additionally, as @grotaclas speculated, there are numerous bug and CVE fixes in recent Electron version that we very much would like to get in order to improve the general app security and user experience.
In order to run an older version of the launcher, the easiest way to do it is to rename the folder of the version you want to keep (in this case %LocalAppData%\Programs\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2.2023.13.1) to instead be named launcher-v2.2099.99. This will cause it to be chosen as the latest version. Launcher updates should subsequently fail - Which is probably what you want.
That being said, we should have been more transparent with this update and its possibly disruptive effects for players whose OS has passed its "best before" date. When we need to do something like this in the future, we'll offer a more graceful way to deal with it.
