game does not launch after pressing play

[Tike20000]

I installed a windows update yesterday evening and when i tried launching swtor today the launcher disappeared and nothing happened.

i have tried restarting my pc, repairing the launcher, updating my drivers, doing a clean boot and adding launcher.exe to my firewall exception list but nothing helps.

i added a dxdiag and these are my client settings:

There are crashes with mcafee around the swtor crash are you certain mcafee isn't interfering ?

edit - Also if you want to update the intel video driver yours is 2018 the latest driver can be found at this link

i updated my intel drivers and tried launching the game with mcafee firewall and real time scanning turned off but it still doesnt work.

The intel driver looks bork now, maybe best to use DDU and then do a clean install of the intel and the nvidia driver

   Driver Name: Unknown
          Driver Version: Unknown
             Driver Date: Unknown

i used DDU to uninstall and reinstall my drivers, still doesnt work.

EDIT: i also just updated my nvidia drivers again; updated the dxdiag.
