Closed [STEAM, WINDOWS 10] SDV not launching

    Hello,

    SDV was working for me perfectly until yesterday. I reset my laptop, thus had to reinstall steam and SDV. However, I have been unable to get it to launch. Whenever I try to relaunch the game, on Steam, the button goes from "Stop" to "Play". The game shows briefly in the "Details" and "Program" tab after I tried updating XNA and .NET, but it does not show the game. Other times, the game doesn't even show in those said tabs and closes immediately.

    I have tried these following methods: I attempted to follow other's instructions online on updating Microsoft.NET and XNA Framework, I could not do so no matter what I tried. Nor would it let me uninstall 4.5 Microsoft.NET. Reinstalled XNA, nothing. I've uninstalled the game itself countless times, restarted my computer numerous times as well and nothing works still. If anyone possibly has any insight that would help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    This is also what shows up:

    "SMAPI failed to initialize: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'StardewModdingAPI.Constants' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'StardewValley.Game1' threw an exception. ---> System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.dll' or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application.
