Inkscape window never opens, process hung in background

Summary:

On my Windows 10 machine, Inkscape refuses to start. The process is visible in the background, but the window never opens. There is no user preferences folder located in AppData/Roaming - it is never created. Attempted using Inkscape 1.2.2 and 1.3 fresh msi installs (as well as Windows store version) Attempted sfc /scannow but no system integrity violations were found.

Note: I have used Inkscape successfully in the past, but I'm unable to find any leftover data that could be causing the problem

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape (using shortcut, svg file, or via command line)
  • observe result

What happened?

  • Inkscape never opens, but process remains running in task manager

What should have happened?

  • Window should have opened
