Issue SMAPI Launches With Black Screen

Trying to launch Stardew Valley version 1.6.15 on Windows 11 using SMAPI version 4.3.2. SMAPI seems to run through the startup sequence with 0 errors but then the game opens to a black screen that locks up.

I've gone through all the regular troubleshooting such as restarting, resetting content files, deleting startup_preferences, etc

I've set StardewModdingAPI.exe to use my dedicated gaming graphics card, and it launched once, but never again.

Thanks

Edit: I've noticed if I delete the startup_preferences file and then immediately launch SMAPI, it will work. But when i close the game and relaunch, it doesn't work.
