problems with the steam version

#1
yesterday i updated my computers bios to the latest version, along with windows (i dont mean i updated to win11 i just downloaded all the stuff in the settings updates menu), and after this whenever i run the steam version of sfs it shows a black screen and progresses no further, plus my mouse cursor does nothing on the desktop, just shows the loading cursor, and i cant close the broken sfs, it just stays open. it happened to me once before i updated, but after a restart it worked perfectly, however this is no longer the case. i suspect razer cortex to be one of the problems, whenever i run a game it frees up ram space for it, but now when it does it for sfs the pop-up showing how much ram has been freed doesnt appear. any help would be appreciated and if you need my systems specifications i can give you them
