Squad Won't Launch!
I got a new laptop, Razer Blade Stealth with GTX 1650. It should have no issues playing this game as my last Surface Book 2 with a GX 1050 had no issues. I downloaded Steam and Squad fresh with no pre-existing files and it will never launch. I click 'play', EAC launches in the Task Manager, then disappears and it never launches. It briefly has the small loading box pop up but nothing else. I have tried quite a bit:

Validating integrity of files
Clearing Download cache in Steam, and the logs in User files
Repairing/ Reinstalling EAC through source files under steam and steamapps
Opening DXSETUP.exe under DirectX files in steamapps and following the setup process
vcredist update, I've tried a few things here but not entirely sure I did everything correctly.
It will not launch when I try in steam or if I go to the source files and try the launcher directly.
I put '-noeac' for the launch options but it still won't launch
I tried uninstalling the Canadian DLC, still doesn't work
I allowed Steam, Squad, and East Anti Cheats through the firewall and doesn't work

Other games do launch from steam, like Rainbow Six Siege

Here is what the Log looks like from the attempts:
