Splash screen shows but Psychopy never lauches

If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.

OS Win10Enterprise:
PsychoPy version 2023.2.3:
Standard Standalone? (y/n) Y:
What are you trying to achieve?:

I have version installed on a PC in which the splash screen launches but then it dies. I have read everything I can find on this subject but am now stuck.

using the command line I can launch psychopy either with or without the splash screen and no errors are posted.

It makes a last_app_load.log file posted below but it does not make either of the two .cfg files.

What did you try to make it work?: Everything I can think of and I am completely stuck - please help.

Philip.
