Windows 11 - Sharex runs in task manager but app doesn't launch #7455

This recently started happening out of nowhere. Uninstalled & reinstalled fresh the latest version of sharex, 16.1.0, and when I try to launch sharex, nothing comes up, however if I view task manager, sharex is running. I try to restart it, kill the task and then restart it, uninstall & reinstall the application, etc.
Sharex was working just fine up until about a week ago.
image I'm unsure if this is a Windows 11 issue or a sharex issue. I'm sorry I don't have more details... if anyone else has ran into this before perhaps they can give me some troubleshooting tips to try. I looked at windows Event Viewer to see if anything looked odd, but didn't see anything. I took that screenshot above using windows snip tool, which still works just fine.

If I launched the "portable" version of sharex, I can get the application to start. However, upon taking a screenshot, the program locks up. This is reflected in eventviewer. image So sharex is just completely broken for me on my system. Again, any tips or tricks to try to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.
