    Hello TroubleChute, I just want to say thank you for this Vid cause I was having problem with my Stellaris Game not starting, but after follow your Compatibility options chapter, it turns out my game had the "Run As Administrator" on. So after removing it, I was able to get my game to run again. So again, thank you for doing this vid, and I hope that the Algorithm be in your favour.

    I had an issue with Steam in which some games (Assassin's Creed Origins, Grand Theft Auto V) which wouldn't connect me to their servers when I tried launching the games from within Steam and after many different attempts to solve this issue, I thought of launching the games separetly from their launchers alone, without opening Steam, and it actually fixed my problem and now I can once again launch those games from within Steam.
    Now the more complicated issue I had was with Forza Horizon 5, which I also own on Steam and I don't have any launcher for that so I just went with my gut and went into its files location in my PC (on Steam Right Click on the game Manage > Browse Local Files), then from the folder I selected the .exe file or the Application icon that launches the game then Right Click on it and there was the option "Troubleshoot compatibility" and so I clicked that, I followed the steps and then I launched the game from there and it once again worked and now I can start the game from within Steam without any issue.
    Hope this might solve your problem if the solutions from the video didn't work as it didn't for me either.
