Can't get FFXIV to open after clean reinstall

[meteorMantodea]

Hi, my problem is that after reinstalling Windows 11 on my computer, I cannot seem to get FFXIV to open to the launcher/login anymore. It will open to the grey FFXIV logo splash page but then immediately shut off without any crash errors or other indication that anything went wrong. I'm not sure what I possibly could have done so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
