PhoenixMiner.exe will not run properly after restarting rig (Windows)

I restarted my rig and PhoenixMiner will not run anymore. This is the same .bat file I have been using for a long time. It calls the PhoenixMiner.exe command and then says No Cuda Drivers detected which is pretty normal since I don't use the -AMD flag and then instead of proceeding it just stops and says pause, press any key to continue and the command line closes. My guess is that Windows has added something in their latest update that is preventing PhoenixMiner.exe from running. I can't be the only person with this issue, hoping someone else has restarted their Windows miner within the past 30 days and has the same problem. Here is a post on Reddit with the exact same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/joq272/phoenixminer_51c_exits_immediately_with_no_message/

Does this have anything to do with ETH2.0 and the end of Eth mining? My gut is telling me something changed with the latest Windows updates (which installed due to an accidental restart) that is causing the miner not to run. I can confirm this .bat file has worked for over a year now and just randomly stopped.
