Blank screen on start up. Thanks for the information. worked 100%
11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11600K
Step 1. Open "Control Panel" by searching for it in Windows search bar, by pressing the Windows button or key.
Step 2. Go to "System & Security"
Step 3. Go to "System"
Step 3. Press "Advanced system settings"
Step 4. Press "Environmental Variables"
Step 5. Create a new "System Variable" (NOT USER VARIABLE)
Step 6. Enter the following into the Variable name box: OPENSSL_ia32cap
Step 7. Enter the following into the Variable value box: ~0x20000000
Step 8. Now press OK.
I cannot follow these directions verbatim because I'm running Windows 11, and the user interface is different. Things are located in different places. Searching for "Environmental Varibles" yields no search results. Interestingly, I own two different Windows 11 machines at the moment. One of them has no problem running MWO, and the other one repeatedly refuses to run the game at all. The one that runs the game fine has a 10th gen CPU, and the other an 11th gen.

OK, finally managed to encounter the issue myself (not only in MwO, but in games using Easy AntiCheat as well (error 10011)).
Yet, the provided solution by me was flawed, here is the correct one (to be applied in Command Line Options in Game Properties in Steam):
cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command"
Sorry for problem.
if that's the spot you mean, it didn't work for me.
-edit-
Went back and opened the control panel, and within that did a manual search for "advanced system settings" and found it. The remainder of the fix worked.
Two notes here:
1) the user interface is *slightly* different under Windows 11. Search for "advanced system settings" within Control Panel, and this will work.
2) This worked on one windows 11 machine, but not the other one, so Win 11 was not to blame for this not working. This is just to confirm what you already know: 11th gen CPUs don't like old SSL lol
