Hello,
so most of my games started to crash on startup instantly.
All drivers are up to date. Tried to turn off all anti-virus programs, no effect at all.
Verified game files, redownloaded also no effect. Turned off wallpaper engine and Fences - no effect.
Starting as admin, turning on compatibility, disabling full-screen optimizations also don't work.
Scan for Viruses (Kaspersky) showed no threads.
Any suggestions on how to fix it except restore or reinstall widows?

Here are the games that crash + error message:
Rainbow Six Siege: Oh no, it crashed! (no error code)
Splitgate: An Unreal process has crashed: UE4-PortalWars (no error code)
Valorant: infinite starting screen, no response (a critical error has occurred and the process must be terminated)
Divinity Original Sin 2: (no error message at all, just closes immediately)

Games that don't crash:
Minecraft
CS:GO
Aimlabs
Wallpaperengine
Benchmarks (e.g. C20, Heaven Benchmark)

Thanks in advance


PC specs:
windows 10 ver: 20H2

I would guess that a PSU is failing, but generally when that happens your system just shuts off. I would reinstall Windows and see if the issue persists.
