Literally Cannot Even Launch PPSSPP - HALP

[mediumstyle]

Sorry in advance if this has been solved before (i looked for sticky posts, none of them seem to be my issue).

Setup:

Windows 10 Home (verified/activated)
Gigabyte GTX 1060 6gb
16gb Corsair Vengeance 4 LPX
i7-6700k 4.0 ghz cpu
gigabyte z270x gaming 5 mobo

Issue:

Neither x86 or x64 versions of PPSSPP remain open after launching. They immediately crash less than a second after launch.

I've looked into editing the ini file in the memstick/system directory, no such ini file exists (I'm pretty sure the app hasn't initialized fully ever, hence never creating the ini file).

Graphics drivers et al are uptodate.

Any ideas?

Where is your PPSSPP folder located? On C:/ somewhere, like program files or such? Could be that Winblows does not allow writing to the folder, so try running it as admin or moving it to other folder/drive.

I recommend the PPSSPP folder stays in a Downloads or Documents folder, so Windows doesn't block you from everything. If PPSSPP tells you can't run in video blah blah blah, press yes, if not, delete memstick folder, or settings
