program will not open, splash screen opens then closes

[Anonymous]

I have CFD 2019. Let me get these questions out of the way first, I have an EDU license, I installed through the browser not with some mysterious autodesk downloader which I can't seem to be able to find anywhere, There is no area to enter a license key or anything. So basically I open the program and the splash screen appears like it should and then it closes and nothing happens. I have reinstalled more than 5 times on multiple hard drives and still the same thing happens.

Have you seen this post?

I know this issue has been resolved by many before, accepted solutions should still be available on the forum. Good luck with this.
