I have a strong feeling this problem has something to do with me disabling dwm.exe from a guide I followed to reduce input lag in Dolphin:
https://www.smashladder.com/guides/view/2688/killing-input-lag-the-perfect-pc-setup-guide
Dolphin continued to work after I disabled it, but after a restart it has not worked at all today. I even went back and re-enabled it, but Dolphin is still closing right after startup.
Thank you for the continued help, by the way. It is appreciated.
Holy moly that guide looks full of bizarre suggestions and incorrect information. Disabling composition shouldn't even be an option in any sane modern os, as it just means it's going to be software composited (Which is slower)
Unless you're running a exclusive fullscreens app so it can directly scan out from the frame buffer with no composition - but in that case dwm is already going to allow that with composition bypass in tbe latest win10 versions...
This whole "input lag" thing seems to be the new cargo cult in various gaming arenas - little correct information, no actual objective testing, and cargo cult "knowledge" with no basis in facts.
Yes, some things may help listed there, but they seem to be outnumbered by things that are likely at best making no.difference, or even making things worse.
The first rule of optimising anything is to get accurate measurements. A simple rule of thumb would be to simply discard any suggestions without said measurements backing it up (and they should be high quality, showing the variance over multiple cases and only changing a single thing at a time).
