This is with the zip. Similar (different path) with the installer.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the startup failure on Windows 10 with the NVIDIA GeForce 2080 Ti, driver 527.56, and the portable Path of Building 2.24.0 build. Review the linked screenshot and the startup behavior; done means Path of Building opens without turning the screen black or crashing Path of Building and Path of Exile.
