How to reproduce the issue

I dont know exactly how to reproduce it.
I tried updating my PoB but it took really long so I just uninstalled all versions from my pc (I checked all drives) and downloaded the latest installer. After a fresh install PoB works but after rebooting the PC it wont open up.

I already tried running it as admin, from the PoB direction itself and via shortcut.

Research direction

Start with the latest installer and the installed PoB executable, then compare launching from the install directory, shortcut, and as administrator before and after a Windows 10 reboot. Reproduce the reported fresh-install success and post-reboot failure; done means identifying a repeatable cause or a concrete diagnostic for why PoB will not open.
