If SR IV starts and immediately minimizes and stays black, forcing you to close it, try this.

If you have a Samsung SSD, and/or the Samsung Magician software is running. Close it.

Recently reinstalled SR4 on Steam, and tried running it, only for it to minimize before I could even see the intro logos. I could click the minimized process on the taskbar, but it would only show the process as a black screen for about half a second, and minimize back. And I would have to close it manually.

I shut down Samsung Magician and it let me launch the game perfectly. The game is not even installed on my SSD (F: ), it was installed on (D: ), but I guess having the Magician running doesn't care.
