Windows Stardew will not launch on steam.

[Ave]

Okay so, I have had this problem for quite a while and tried many things to fix it. When I click the launch button through Steam the blue Play button will turn blue and change to X Stop. It will sit there for 2-15 seconds before crashing without even launching. I have the error logs, which I will add at the bottom. I am new to using forums like this as I can usually work out a solution via intense googling, so if there's anything else I need to specify let me know, and I will try my best to provide it.
I am aware that launching the game in compatibility mode will allow me to play it without mods, but I want to see if I can fix/get help to fix this issue.
I have tried re-installing DirectX, installing .Net 5.0, deleting the startup preferences, verifying the files, and completely reinstalling the game.

Did you try reinstalling your graphics drivers?

Does your laptop have another graphics besides "Intel HD Graphics 3000"?

Question: Have you ever had Stardew Valley work on this computer? And if so was it about a year ago or earlier?

I have a couple of computers with Intel HD 3000 graphics and I just can't get the current version of the game working on them, Mac or PC. Even in Compatibility mode. There are no currently updated drivers for these older GPUs and never will be. Even Intel doesn't provide an official driver for Windows 10, Microsoft does.

However reinstalling that older driver may help and it's worth a try. Lemme try to find an online link (I have it downloaded from a while ago).

I've had errors like this too, but I ended up completely removing steam and reinstalling it, and I had also just updated my computer. However, I'm on Mac and not Windows so that might be unhelpful.
