PPSSPP won't open (Win64)

[RetroHolic]

Same thing happens for me; I bought the Gold version for Windows & unzipped it in a separate folder. It refuses to start
However the RetroArch core DOES work (thankfully)!
My PC specs are these:

Motherboard: Asus Strix Z270H Gaming
CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K, 4200 MHz
Windows 10 64bit
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (6 GB)
16GB RAM
All my games & emulators are on a 2TB HDD (windows on a separate SSD).

I have the latest Nvidia graphics drivers installed & all the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables installed. Still it won't start!

However I have a temporary solution which worked for me:
I downloaded a slightly older version of PPSSPP: v1.7.1-252 and that one works just fine, exept for the "more settings"-option that crashes the program. So I've been using this version to play my games so far.
Still a bit disappointing, thought the Gold version would solve the problem
Anyway, I hope the issue gets solved eventually. I love the emulator so if anyone else have the same issue they might just try an older version or use the RetroArch core.
