BAE stopped working Win 11

BAE stopped working for me on Windows 11 today. At first, the tray icon was visible and I could open the main interface, but no output. I also couldn’t open the settings via right-click.

I eventually uninstalled both BAE and the pipeline, and removed remnants in Device Manager, and deleted leftover folders, etc.. After reinstalling BAE v1.44 and pipeline v4.66 and rebooting, BAE won’t open at all anymore. It just crashes immediately with no tray icon, etc..

Windows System File Checker and DISM scans found no issues. I reinstalled my MB’s audio drivers as well, but no luck.

Windows reliability monitor shows:
