Itch App won't launch (or immediately closes) in Windows 10

Ok, this was working a or so month ago, but I tried to launch the Itch app and it just spins like it's loading and then nothing happens. Nothing appears in Task Manager either.

I've tried installing and reinstalling, which makes the icon launch in the right side box on the task bar, but as soon as I hover over it, it disappears and again it does not show up in task manager.  Trying to launch the software results in the same loading spinner and then nothing.

I have no other anti-virus other than Windows Defender and yes I've turned off everything from Real-time protection to Tamper Protection.  No change in behavior when installing or launching.

I am running have Windows 10 pro.

I whitelisted the app in windows defender as the wiki suggests, still won't launch.

If anyone can help me with this, that would be very appreciated... I have gotten no where with this issue.
