The project seems to be in a OneDrive location, can you try opening it outside of this?

Can see that the previous log stops when loading the project's layout file immediately after trying to load your project (out of a OneDrive location, as mentioned above):

[21:37:02:723(fc14)] Loading project layout from: C:\Program Files\GameMaker Studio 2\defaultProjectLayout.xml

There is no actual error message logged, unfortunately.

That file is obviously GameMaker's default, rather than the actual layout for your project, so I would suspect the issue is simply OneDrive or an antivirus client happened to lock your project files at the wrong moment and GameMaker could not react properly.

We already have it documented that you should not have your projects in a OneDrive location, so as already suggested, please move your GameMaker projects elsewhere on disk and hopefully you won't get this again in future.

The crash dump will be investigated as normal, but the above might result in a quicker fix and a safer situation for you anyway.

https://github.com/YoYoGames/GameMaker-Bugs/issues/4372 for the planned change to make GameMaker default to using a different location (which is what we're saying for you to do on your own install just now).
