Crash at launch

Updated windows recently. After update, the game crashes at first stage of launch. Sometimes it completely crashes, sometimes just hangs, same exceptions shown in logs in both cases.

Attempted fixes: Verify files in steam, updating nvidia graphics drivers, updating VC++ files as per pinned messages in discord, adding -skipintro to launch as per discord, system restart, /scannow, delete shader cache, rename/delete roaming

Not attempted: reinstall the game entirely, roll back windows update

This site won't let me attach the .config file referenced in the log, and it is short, so I will paste it following.

I found only one reference to this issue online, and apparently it went nowhere. Would appreciate guidance.
