I went to visual studio and got those additional logs:
D3D11CreateDevice: Flags (0x2) were specified which require the D3D11 SDK Layers for Windows 10, but they are not present on the system.
These flags must be removed, or the Windows 10 SDK must be installed.
Flags include: D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG
Then I followed step 2 of this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/76985931 and it launched.
If you want me to uninstall those graphic tools and test again to see if it now works right off the bat without the user having to do anything in particular, my discord username is worm38. I'm no longer available due to work right now though.
