Hard Lock PC when launching Elite after the patch

Hey guys,

I'm not sure the best way to troubleshoot this one as my computer hard locks when I launch Odyssey (or horizons now) after a couple of seconds. This means I can't get a screenshot or assist much at all. Does the game have an error log I could attach to a support request?

Troubleshooting steps:
  • verify game files
  • Uninstall from steam, delete Elite folder, reinstall
  • Unplug extra monitors
  • Upgrade nvidia drivers
  • remove peripherals
  • Try launching in VR

System configuration:
  • Windows 10 20H2 (64 bit)
  • Nvidia drive version 466.47
  • AMD 5950x
  • Gigabyte B550
  • founders 3090
 
Well, I should have tried one more thing. I deleted all of the files under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous and it started just fine... Hope this helps someone else.
