Update your programs, drivers and Operating System.
Clear cache
Cache files can become damaged/corrupted over time and start causing problems in-game.
Clearing your cache files will force the client to download fresh copies of these files, which can help to resolve some of these issues.

This allows us you to check if the issue is caused by certain programs on your main profile. Try creating a new profile on Windows 7/8 or Windows 10/11, and you should be able to load the client on the new profile.
