I too have the same issue starting the game on Windows 10. I get as far as "You can press alt-F2 to start Ansel" and then it crashes 100% of the time.
I've verified my Steam files, uninstalled/reinstalled, installed the latest c++ redistributables, updated to the latest EVGA driver, deleted my SpaceEngineers.cfg file, set -skipintro on the startup arguments, and deleted shader caches. None of this has changed the behavior.

The kernelbase.dll crash occurs in a wide range of games and apps in general. The crash isn't typically caused by Space Engineers and may be the result of a system issue. Hopefully, we can provide you with a solution to your issue quickly. However, we may not be able to address your issue until a future update or hotfix to Space Engineers.
In the meantime, please take the following steps:
Update Windows (The most recent update for MS Windows 10 is Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19041.0)
Update your graphic drivers
Reinstall the Visual Studio redistributable: download the latest version from the official Microsoft website (x86: vc_redist.x86.exe OR x64: vc_redist.x64.exe)
Run as a different user (a corrupt windows user profile is a common source of this error)
Please follow these steps and let us know if it helped you. Thank you.

I have the same bug
since latest update 13/02/21. Start space engineers in steam, get little version screen, then black screen for about 6 seconds and then game closes.
I verified game, reinstalled game, deleted cfg file, deleted shader cache folder contents. None of these helped.
I then deleted all the videos in content folder KHS and background videos, now it works fine.

Well, Kateřina Červená, just a cursory perusal of GuiTextures.sbc will reveal that said file records:
...
<Texture>
<SubtypeName>BluePrintCloud</SubtypeName>
<Path>Textures\GUI\Icons\buttons\BluePrintCloud.png</Path>
</Texture>
...
while a further *cursory* observation of folder ...\Textures\GUI\Icons\buttons\BluePrintCloud.png will reveal *there is NO such file !*
Idem for the other files thus flagged.
Why all the bru-ha-ha instead of just checking ?
