Windows – Unable to create application

Hi there,

I’ve had a look at other threads regarding this error (such as here) and tried deleting profiles.xml but this has not worked for me unfortunately.

I’ve done a reinstall, i’ve used malwarebytes to check if there’s any dodgy stuff – all clean. Windows 10 operating system, my graphics are up to date, i’ve changed audio settings as suggested. Log is below:

Code:

Could it be that this advancedsettings.xml file is missing and causing it not to load? The app has been working fine on my pc since December. I’ve looked for this xml but can’t seem to find it

and any is appreciated, thanks
