Don’t worry - I have reinstalled CC5 on the other copy of Windows 11 on my Workstation and it’s working fine.
I haven’t noticed it with IC or CC, but the latest NVidia drivers (591.x) break the rendering in some apps. I still use an older version of Vegas Pro and I had too revert to the previous driver (581.x).
Any updates on this subject? Have the same problem: splash screen - initializing… and disappears.

If anyone is continuing to receive crashes, or are unable to launch CC5, please contact Technical Support using the form HERE . They will try to help you resolve the problem. Thanks.
After the latest update, I can only start CC5 as an administrator.
Aha, I hadn’t thought of running as administrator - CC5 now launches fine. Thanks for the tip @grenz-claudia
Another option
Reset CC5 to version 5.04 in the RL Hub
Wait for a new update
Same!! but if I open iClone 8 then open CC5, it works!! then I close iC8 and all good!! Weird!!
