First time poster - sorry in advance for anything silly I say.
My problem: The Evil Within 2 launches to a black screen, but I can hear all the game sounds (logos, menu). When I use Alt+Enter to switch between windowed and full screen, I see brief flashes of the menu, but can't get those to stabilise. I've seen people post about this on Steam forums, but no one had a reliable fix. A couple here had this issue with Evil Within 1, but this person seems to have fixed the issue by reinstalling (didn't work for me), while this person only had integrated graphics and just couldn't run the game.
My specs:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
Laptop - ACER Aspire VX5
Windows 10 64-bit
Intel Core i7 7700HQ @ 2.80GHz
16 GB RAM
Monitor - inbuilt, 1920x1080, 32BPP, 60Hz
Game run via Steam
The usual "I've been able to play more recent games than EW2 without issues" disclaimer
Here's what I've tried so far:
Sorry for massive post. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Here's what I've tried so far:
- Reinstall
- Verify game files (Steam)
- Update GPU drivers
- Made sure game is running on right GPU, not integrated graphics
- Run as admin
- Run in compatibility mode
- Disabled full-screen optimisation
- Selected option to override high DPI scaling behaviour
- Run windowed
- Looked for a config file in the game folder that I could change or delete - there doesn't seem to be one (hidden files shown)
- Disable GeForce experience, battery boost, overlay
