Blender instantly closes on startup This has started today, and I'm not sure what happened, since I had been using 2.83.2 for a while.
The process is as depicted: I click on either the Blender shortcut, or the direct .exe file, it boots up the command tab, and then it closes.
I have tried using other versions, these don't work either. It may be a problem I've had in the past where Blender 2.83 closed because I tried copying the preferences from 2.82.
I'm pretty sure it's not a performance problem, but I'll tell this if it helps.

Apparently the solution to this all along was restarting my PC, which I didn't think would fix the problem so I didn't try in the first place.
