Launcher disappearing issue (thread created so if anyone in the future has the same problem, they can look at the answers below)

I double click the launcher, select cs2, click load

the bar fills up, client disappears, it shows up in the taskbar for about 20 seconds and then it just goes POOF

steam doesn’t launch itself

steam doesn’t shut down automaticcaly if it’s open

the launcher is just gone

no response and not even any error codes

I have tried auto config launch

i have tried launching with a vpn

i have verified game files

i reinstalled steam

i wiped my %temp% folder

the multi core rendering option is gone with

CS2

i downloaded directx latest version

i download visual C++ latest version

i disabled memory integrity from core isolation

i disabled windows real time protection

i tried reinstalling the client and restarting the pc

i checked that all my drivers are up to date

i have launched steam with the x32 command depicted in other threads about this

i have also tried the taskkill command

as well as launching steam from the cmd windw

the client window bar loades, closes itself, shows up on task manager for about 20 seconds, and just goes POOF

if anyone knows a direct fix to this exact problem, it would be nice to keep thsi thread here so that anyone having the same issue in the future can easily fix it

and yes, i did create a ticket with the logs provided. I will post an update when i recieve a response.
