I clicked on the Mass Effect 2 banner in the Origin Game library (Play button is inactive)
That is strange. You made sure Origin was compatibly closed, not just minimized?
OK, we need a crash dump of the game.
If there aren't any dump files of ME2:

Here are my crash dumps:

ME2 crashed with a "INVALID_POINTER_READ" memory access violation.
This is not a game error, and I don't think that this is a memory problem because the other games work. Unfortunately it can have many other reasons.
Preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.
Make sure the game uses the 1050 and not the iGPU.

Performed a clean boot as advised. It has the same behaviour - failed to launch

Go to your ">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\vc\vc2005\redist" folder and run the "vcredist_x86.exe" as Administrator.
(Right click the "vcredist_x86.exe" > Run as Administrator.)
Reboot > Test.
If that don't helps:

I did another sfc /scannow after reboot(which showed that Windows did some repairing but it looks like it repaired some corrupted files but not able to repair others like this:
2020-05-18 00:39:24, Info CSI 0000022a [SR] Could not reproject corrupted file \??\C:\WINDOWS\System32\\msvcr100_clr0400.dll; source file in store is also corrupted

After some research, managed to fix the corrupted file issue.
Now the sfc /scannow yield this results --
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
I tried restarting and going to Game Library and click Play, but it has the same issue and did not launch.
Tried to uninstall and reinstall, renamed the .exe, launched the game - and still failed

OK, lets see if a third party application or service is the culprit.
Preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode. Disable your virus scanner and Afterburner and similar software as well if you use it.
