How to reproduce the issue

When running the new (2.40+) installer, or on the restart after updating an older version, or immediately upon clicking "update" on the 2.39 portable.
Messing with the SimpleGraphic.cfg does nothing, and there is no sync/OneDrive/language issues at play here like the previously solved issues.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash through the 2.40+ installer, an update restart, and the portable app's Update action on the reported Windows 7 configuration. Inspect the startup and update paths involved; the issue is done when the application opens successfully after installation and updating without relying on SimpleGraphic.cfg changes.
