Software and games crashing on startup

So whenever I try to launch any game in my Steam library or some applications, they immediately freeze and crash. I’ve confirmed this isn’t a hardware problem; it functions normally in safe mode. Do any of you have an idea of what it could be?

A common culprit is outdated graphics drivers. Consider reinstalling them.

Also, check if any background applications are conflicting with your games. Sometimes overlays from apps like Discord or Steam can cause crashes.

Have you tried verifying the integrity of game files in Steam? Sometimes corrupted files can lead to crashes.

Make sure your Windows is updated. Sometimes system updates can fix compatibility issues.
