Ok so, I had a big windows update that installed on my HP laptop without my control yesterday. I haven't had a chance to run TS since the update due to being busy. Well I tried several times this morning to get it to work and it just will not start up. Steam starts and works just fine, but Train Simulator itself will not run and I have no idea why. I'm about ready to smash this thing to pieces, but before I do that I would greatly appreciate any help you all can provide as me and technology usually don't get along very well.
PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm assuming Windows 10 (eta ~ if you're on it) updated one of your drivers and you'll have to roll it back to a previous version, however I don't have W10 so I can't be of further help.

Run NameMyRoute.exe in the main railworks folder and delete the corrupted scenario.

I'm not exactly sure what happened with the big Windows update that would've effected TS in any way. But after a cache verification it worked just fine. It showed that somehow 35 files had to be reacquired. I had forgot about the cache verification but remembered after getting back from a family BBQ.
