Update: Managed to make it work by reinstalling/updating SMAPI 4.0 version. For people with the same problem it automatically replaces the old SMAPI stuff or you get a prompt for it to be uninstalled.
The game won't launch for me. I have already tried a bunch of suggested options below that was made on an earlier post. Added in bold are some details. I've never had this problem before update 1.6.
I play on PC via Steam on a Windows 10 computer. Don't have any mods.
When launching I do see a small black window popping up but that quickly disappears so I can't clearly see if there is any message/error message. After this the Steam launch button 'resets' itself so you can press play. I added the error log at the bottom.

- Delete the startup_preferences file in %AppData%/StardewValley
Was in a different location but managed to find it, delete it, did nothing - Go into the game file directly (you can find this by right clicking game in steam library > properties > local files > browse local files...) and then into the folder titled “_CommonRedist”, then “XNA”, then “4.0”, then “xnafx40_redist” installer. Once there, run the installer and hit repair.

When going to the Launch option folder that Steam references (as set launch option button isn't there anymore) the folder doesn't exist so I guess it's empty??? - If you are running the software "RivaTuner", exit out of it completely before running the game
Don't have that installed - Go to Device Manager > System Devices and check if there is something called "FrescoLogic Display Adapter". this can cause incompatiblity issues.
Don't have that
I also tried reinstalling the game and restarting pc etc. Any other suggestions are welcome.
