So earlier today i was playing some EU4 and might have alt F4 for having incredibly bad luck with rng. Now everytime I open the launcher and press play, I get sent to the eu4 title-screen like normal, but now i'm stuck there. I've spent some time trying to fix it. Looked at similar problems and tried what i found. I have switched between all possible window modes, i've downloadeded the c++ library files and i have reinstalled the game completely and removed all the save files but nothing worked.I own it throught epic games if that gives any insight.
 
Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Epic-EU4
- manually delete both the Epic/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4 EGS folders
- re-install game in Epic
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Epic EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.
