The one with the sexy Autorun.exe file and everything.) Now, I've tried launching the vanilla several times, but to no avail. The process just ends as soon as I start it. Same goes for my installation of Discovery. My NET framework appears to be just fine, above 4.7. I just can't figure out this issue. I find it quite odd, considering how it's been working just fine on my previous computer.
I've failed to mention how I'm also using a Win10 pro. I've tried launching the exe file of fl on Administrator mode, but to no avail.
When I had that problem, I moved the Freelancer and Discovery folders from the MyGames folder to the desktop, then started up the vanilla version. If the little window pops up about the video card, you'll be on the right track.

Also, check out this thread. You might find some help there.

That thread is quite outdated, though. I do have the latest Framework installed.

As flux already mentioned, moving the folders out of My Games should help. I'm on Windows 8 and I had to move the vanilla game out of Program Files (x86) to normal Program Files for it to work, although that might have been a completely different problem as to what you're having right now

That thread is current and is how you fix the common windows 10 issue that you're describing. The framework is only needed for the launcher if I'm not mistaken. The moving of save data is done to fix the crash on start, or more specifically a new game, as restart.fl works like cache data and loads up configs. This is why the launcher auto-deletes them and other save games.
I think that's how it works anyway.
Edit: Forgot to mention how its also related to when its set to read-only which is why moving it out of a non-restricted place can fix.

Well I've tried everything. Nothing seems to work regardless.
