Movie Studio Platinum 12 No Longer Opening

Just earlier this year, I had successfully installed an old copy of Movie Studio Platinum 12 Suite for my Windows 11 Laptop.

All programs -- one of those being Movie Studio Platinum 12 -- were running normally up until yesterday, when I noticed that Movie Studio simply would not open.

I've tried doing so through the shortcut, my taskbar, and the application file all with the same result.

I am also having the same issue with the copy of DVD Architect 5.0 that came with it, which I would presume to be of the same origin.

One solution I've already considered is un-installing and re-installing both programs, however I wanted to find any other possible solutions before-hand to rule out.

(To also note: this is coinciding with a similar but slightly different issue with Sound Forge 10.0 that I intend to put in a separate back-to-back post.)

Windows has possibly changed something. Does this thread give any clues? https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/warning-ms-visual-c-14-50-v145-kill-vegas-download-the-fix--150332/

Also what is your GPU and has its driver recently updated?

As far as I know, both the GPU and Driver were recently updated. In the meantime, I'll see if anything in that thread could be of help.
