Summary: As soon as I press 'PLAY' in the launcher, the launcher disappears and after about a second the 'X STOP' blue button on Steam turns into the green '> PLAY' button. No Bannerlord-related task appears in the task manager after the 'BannerlordLauncher' task is closed when I press 'PLAY' in the launcher. This happens every single time I try this, except that sometimes the launcher randomly crashes by itself before I even have the chance to press 'PLAY'.
Starting the game through 'Bannerlord.exe', 'Bannerlord.Native.exe', 'Bannerlord_BE.exe', and 'Taleworlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.Singleplayer.exe' DOES work, however, yet launching the game through this method doesn't enable any mods when I install them despite enabling them through the launcher and/or Vortex. NOTE HOWEVER what I write about mods in the following 'What I've tried' section. I only have and have ever had Bannerlord installed on one and the same drive. The game and launcher have worked before on the same computer specs when I played around the launch of Early Access.
Launching the game through Vortex worked before but would give me the 'The application faced a problem. We need to collect necessary files to fix this problem. Would you like to upload these files now?' prompt as soon as I pressed 'New Campaign' or 'Sandbox' from the main menu, with or without mods enabled. I tried to reproduce this so I could upload the files, but now the game won't launch at all through Vortex either (with or without mods).

What I've tried:
- Verified integrity of game files through Steam multiple times
- Updated Windows to the latest version as of posting
- Updated my GPU drivers
- Restarted my computer multiple times
- Allowed Bannerlord through Windows Defender firewall
- Disabled Windows Defender firewall on all networks
- Followed this post and run all executables except the top one that I ran last; the installer on that one said I already had another version of that program installed.
- Disabled management of Bannerlord through Vortex and uninstalled Vortex through Windows 'Apps and functions'
- Uninstalled the game through Steam, and then deleting the 'steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord' folder, the 'ProgramData\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord' folder, and the 'Documents\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord' folder before reinstalling the game through Steam
- Reinstalled the game through Steam without those extra steps from the last point multiple times
- Deleted all mods from the 'steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules' folder
- Tested on both Main branch 1.5.9.271857 and Beta branch 1.5.10.271913
