Default Windows 10 game does not start

When i start the game i can see a flash of a window appearing and then nothing not even an error message.
If I go into my Task Manager it does says eqgame.exe is running but other than that there is no trace of the game at all.

I looked through the forums for 4 days now and i cant seem to find any awnser, maybe im blind and im not seeing the obvious but I would really apprechiate any help to get this game running.

things i tried:
the guide on this site,
the all in one installer,
another all in one installer,
running in compatability mode(I tried all of them),
running as admin,
i did change the file to "c:\where the exe is\eqgame.exe" patchme,
i tried editing the .bat file to actually grab the eqgame.exe where it is,
i tried fiddling with windowed and fullscreen setting in the .ini files

I'd try WinEQ, without some kind of error I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Go into your event viewer > Windows Logs > Applications.... Check and see what error is showing up if any right after you attempt to open the application. If I were to make a guess, you have some anti-viral software shutting it down so check that as well and make sure that it is not blocking the .bat file from opening the game.
