Can't launch the game

Description

When I attempt to launch DayZ, nothing occurs. In task manager it shows DayZ_x64.exe running but nothing is presented on my screen. I have to manually terminate DayZ in task manager and I am left with 2 general errors, 0xC0000374 - STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION & 0x00000001 - UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI

Steps To Reproduce

Start game like normal

  1. Start the game up, I typically use the Steam created DayZ shortcut from my desktop (same results by starting from Steam library & File Explorer)
  1. From DayZ launcher, select play button's drop down arrow and choose play without mods (same results when selecting Official & Community servers from selection screen)
  1. Once the play button has been pressed, a Windows loading wheel appears but nothing happens. In task manager DayZ_x64.exe is running
  1. In task manager I manually close the game and am prompted with a exit code 0x00000001 - UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI
Additional Information

I feel defeated, I have tried every trick in the book:

  1. I updated my GPU
  2. Rolled back drivers
  3. Deleted temp files
  4. Deleted DayZ cache
  5. Deleted DayZ folder in documents
  6. Tried to start the game from file explorer as administrator
  7. Set compatibility to Windows 8 and Windows 7
  8. I reinstalled steamworks common redistributables
  9. Ran dxdiag
  10. Reinstalled the game
  11. Restarted PC

Anxious to experience the new update, hope this is resolved quickly! Thanks in advance for the assistance.
