Crashing on startup, steam version

[IsaacTheKhajiit]

My video card drivers are up to date.  I've been playing this game for weeks with no problem, although Windows 10 updated last night.  I'm running the .exe. in administrator mode.

I just deleted the config files and now the game will start, but it won't actually open.  I can see it in my taskbar but when I click on it, it won't go fullscreen.

Ok, I've realized my problem has to do with the Windows Fall Creator update, but I can't figure out how to fix it.  I tried following the directions in this thread from the faq, and the thread that it links to: http://steamcommunity.com/app/294100/discussions/0/1489992713701469592/

But it's not working.

This is what my Nvidia Control Panel looks like: https://imgur.com/1aNa5LQ

It doesn't matter which option I pick: Aspect ration, full screen, no scaling, Perform scalling on GPU or display, I get the same result.  The game opens as a thin vertical bar.

Are you still having a problem with this? And have you tried the following solution (taken from the pinned black screen thread)

For those having issues with the latest update of windows, does your Start button stop working?

I was having black screen issues in multiple games and my start menu, when clicked or keyboard windows key, would not pop up. After much digging i found this fix which worked for me:

windows key + r will cause "Run" to open. Type "regedit" and after administrator confirmation regedit will open. On the left navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Advance
With "Advance" selected, right click in the right pane and select "New > DWORD (32-bit) value".
A new item will appear and the name can be edited. Name it EnableXamlStartMenu

Exit regedit and restart the computer. It fixed both my start menu and my black screen issues.

Word of warning. regedit is a powerful tool. Changing anything other than what I listed above could have terrible results (like breaking Windows). Use at your own risk

Search for EnableXamlStartMenu to find the post

Edit: If it helps with tracking hardware setups/reported problems i have a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU and AMD rx480 GPU. Windows 10 Home.
