Sometimes it's the simplest things - your game files might be corrupted. If you're on Steam, use the 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' option. It's like a magic fix button.

Ah, the classic 'Fallout 4 won't start' dilemma. Been there, done that! First up, check your system specs against the game's requirements. Fallout 4 is pretty hefty, so if your rig doesn't cut it, that might be the issue. If your specs are all good, try updating your graphics drivers; those things can be finicky. Another trick is to run the game in compatibility mode or as an administrator. Sometimes, it's just about giving the game that extra bit of clearance to do its thing. And don't forget to disable any background apps that could be hogging resources. Give these a shot, and may the Fallout gods be with you!

Might want to check if your antivirus is being overprotective and quarantining Fallout 4 files. Yeah, my antivirus once flagged it as a threat - talk about not recognizing the real enemy, amirite?

Just reinstall it, dude. Works like a charm 9 times out of 10.

Hate to be that guy, but did you try turning your PC off and on again? I scoffed at this advice once and ended up eating humble pie when it actually worked.
