Game wont launch

Hello. Ever since the last patch the game wont launch. Just gets a quick cmd popup and then nothing. Running latest recommended NVIDIA driver.

I created a new user on my PC and the game will launch there, but no saved game.

I have tried logging in with safe mode with networking to see if its an app loading. I have also tried turning off cloud saves (i think that's why i have lost my saved game, no biggie, only on the last hour of the game is all)

EDIT:
was able to grab files from onedrive website and have an older save loaded, but it from a few weeks ago, so i wont need to replay the whole game to get back to the last hour, and left behind save is missing, played in story order)

That sucks.

Typically, people would post their PC specs in OP with these questions tho'.
So, with nothing else to go on.
0. Check the pinned comment about "raising a bug report."
1. Rt-Click games >> Properties >> Verify files
2. or Delete and clean reinstall (save files are in a different personal folder)

edit:
oh wait.. the command popup .. that's a Steam Client known issue.
pls google around for their solutions.. it's a tad extreme.. I hope you don't mind reinstalling steam.

I did multiple fresh installs of TLOU, reinstalled steam, reinstalled steam to the same drive as my game, reinstalled game to the same drive as steam.

It will run on same PC if i create a new user. so hardware isn't the issue, or the windows install itself, but I'm guessing something with my user in windows. I was able to go to onedrive website and pull an old save from a few weeks ago (not near the end of game, so i will need to replay only a few hours)

Tried copying the folder from "Saved Games" in your user profile across?

Yeah. No luck.

Like Yeah I can play it, but having to go to a secondary login on my pc just isn't a long term solution. And I'm the type that doesn't reinstall windows often because I have a ton of audio programs for my work on the same pc. And I just reinstalled everything a few months ago.
