Hello there, I have a big problem with both RPG Maker MV and MZ. It started a few months ago. I cannot open either MV or MZ, both will only boot up in the background as seen on my Task Manager, , or they show the splash screen and open the window but proceed to stay white with no response.

RPG maker VX Ace boots up as normal.
For some reason, I can open both engines inside of a Virtual Machine. That was the only way to work on my game.
I also contacted support once via email but they couldn't help me in the end.
They were so kind to send me a version of MV that does not require Steam, but it had the same problem, so Steam is not the cause. Also scanning the local data files on steam has no results. I also have whitelisted both engines inside my antivirus programs.
I figured out it must've been a .dll error.
On some attempts the engine opened but after changing between its windows a few times (like map editor and databank), RPG Maker again shows no response and doesn't start after closing it.
