Question App not opening

I have been using a piece of software called pacprobe.exe (it acts as a keyboard wedge for HID cards) for several years on Windows 10.

Today I clicked it and nothing happened. I have re-installed, run as administrator, run in backward compatibility mode, and run from CMD. Each time there is a brief flicker of the spinning circle (less than 1/2 second) but no program opens and there is no error message.

The only variable between now and previous successful run (two days ago) is that yesterday I installed the Everything search tool. I uninstalled this today to see if that helped, but it hasn't Any ideas what could be going on? Could Everything have somehow stopped this program from opening and has left behind some changes that have not been uninstalled?

Everything else is working fine on the OS.

The log shows the following error codes everytime program is started:

App error is:
