Quick update: I'm at the title screen right now, I was able to get it to run. We'll see how she does but this is the farthest I've gotten. I've been doing a lot of stuff -- SO much stuff -- and I'm not sure what finally pushed it over the edge into viability. But the three main things I suspect contributed are: 1) I ran the sfc command and it found about 14 corrupt files and repaired them, 2) I ran msconfig and disabled a lot of non-microsoft processes, 3) I reinstalled. I've also, over the weekend, done a lot of other stuff suggested here and elsewhere. Good luck to everybody still having issues (for all I know this isn't the end of my woes either) and I hope they patch this thing up soon. EDIT: Oh and I throttled the FPS to 60 in my AMD settings.

The consensus seems to be 'install the media feature pack' but my version of windows is not N and the media feature pack is not applicable. I was directed to another version located here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48231 and was able to install it but that did not solve the problem. Is a solution being worked on or am I too far in the margins and just not able to play this game? I've been looking forward to it for months. This is a huge bummer.

I installed the feature pack but this issue remains unresolved for me.

Created an account to echo this. Brief black screen and then kicks me to desktop. I had this on the Xbox game pass (for PC) and it was doing this, dropped sixty dollars on this thing in hopes that it was Microsoft, but no. Epic store gives me the same problem.
