It is strange that you received no error messages. That makes finding a solution much harder...
In my bag of tricks I know that if you had an error saying "VBA failed to initialize properly. Please restart Inventor." during launch, or "Inventor is not able to detect VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) on your system" the fix would be to look in your local (C) drive for "VBA*.msi" and reinstall VBA from the package you find.
Other comparable solutions I have are all for Vault Pro not launching, but since those issues are similar in that they sometimes give us no error prompt, I would say it is harmless to try a few:
- Uninstall Autodesk Desktop App;
- Vault Professional 2020 error on launch/startup "Connectivity.request.runtime.util.requestruntimeexception (....... long error prompt): reinstall both x86 and x64 versions of the multi-installer Visual C++ 2015, 2017 and 2019 redistributables (NOT THE ARM64 one).

- Errors when launching Vault: "Insertion index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than or equal to size. Parameter name: index" and afterwards "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". For this one, we usually replace the 4 main executable files in the Vault / Explorer folder (Autoloader.exe, Connectivity.VaultPro.exe, CopyDesign.exe, JobProcessor.exe) with fresh ones from a working PC.
Therefore, for Inventor I would hope you have any colleague you could copy their "Inventor.exe" from "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2022\Bin" to replace your own. I cannot attach my Inventor.exe here due to forum regulations.
