PC-DMIS 2019 R2 Crashes at startup

Hello. Sorry to bring up an old thread. I just started a new job and my company is having this same issue. Well, some users in my department are having this issue while others aren't. We're all on the same computer with separate login accounts. 2019 R2, crashes immediately after starting up.

So far 8 of us have logged on to attempt to run it. 3 of us (including the admin) have no issues whatsoever. 1 of us are stuck in Protect Mode and the password popup doesn't pop up to get out (though I'm sure that's a totally different topic), and the other 4 (including the department supervisor) generate crash reports as soon as PC-DMIS finishes loading in.

I've gone and cleared messageboxoptions.dat for one user hoping they just hit No on the video driver popup, but that didn't stop the crash.

My supervisor and IT say they've gone in and done Reset User before with no affect.

Are there any other available options? Would deleting the affected users' profiles and logging in fresh fix the issue? Is there anything else to try before uninstalling and reinstalling PC-DMIS?

I have a doc file from somewhere hexagon/wai that is titled "Registry Keys requiring read (004).docx".  Here's the contents copied and pasted. 

Basically these registry keys, the .exe launcher, as well as these folders ALL need full admin rights for each PCDMIS user who is uniquely signed into windows.  Get with your IT guru.

Below are the paths you will need to add the user for full read permissions:

Add each user manually by clicking on Add type in the name search and ok  now highlight the name in the top box and check full control and apply and ok

 In some cases I have had to use Domain Users.
