Weird issue with game not restarting once I close it

I'll start by saying I play the game via PC on steam

I've had this issue the last month or maybe longer as I haven't been playing much..

If I reboot my computer and start Dead By Daylight everything runs fine.. I can play as much as I want, but once I close the game, and try to reopen it no matter how long after I close the game, it won't reopen no matter what I do.. It could be 2 seconds after the game closes and it refuses to reopen

The game will start to run, the splash Screen with Lara Croft will show up, and then nothing, the game shuts down and won't run..

I've tried numerous methods to fix the issue..

Verified my game cache,
Uninstalled and reinstalled the game
Move my installation folder from D: to C:
Repaired Easy Anti Cheat
Uninstalled Easy Anti Cheat and Reinstalled it
Running the game as Admin
Running steam as Admin
Cleared my Steam Cache
Updated my Video Card using GEForceExp it's a 4090

I'm honestly at my wits end. Just so I'm clear, the game will run fine if I run it after restarting my PC, but once I run the game and exit, the game refuses to play unless I restart my computer again.. I left Dead By Daylight for a while but with 2vs8 I decided to give it another go, but it's really inconvenient to restart my PC everytime I want to play.

It's also no my internet as I can run the game on my Laptop using my steam account and it opens/closes and everything between with zero issues.. I have no issues with any other games.. Any suggestions or feedback on what I could try to remedy the situation I'm having?
