The last time I used it was on October 31st 2024, that is when my project was last saved. Then I tried to come back to it again and every time I click on the game.exe, it loads the window up for a few seconds with a black screen, then crashes with no error.

The Game.rxproj won't even load up either. Again, no error.

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and no such luck. I have not made any changes to the program or even my own computer.

My antivirus has never had any issues with this and I even for years have whitelisted all RPG Maker related folders on my computer.

Found the fix: It was caused be DEP being enable for all programs. All I had to do on Windows 10 was go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System, click on "Advance System Settings", then the Advance tab, then "Settings" under "Performance", then go to the tab that says "Data Execution Prevention". The 2nd option was turned on and I don't know how it got turned on, but I changed it to the first option and things are working again.

I know it's been a month, but do other projects work? If yes, your project might be corrupted to such a degree that it crashes RMXP.
