So I double click the icon to run it, and my mouse says it's loading, but then nothing happens. It doesn't show up on my task manager, I don't get an error message, just literally nothing happens. I tried running as administrator, reinstalling, testing compatibility, still nothing. I'm on windows 10.

Is Windows 10 fully up to date?

Do you have a firewall turned on?

Do you have any antivirus software that could be preventing / deleting files trying to be installed?

Check your ui.log file and see what issues are being logged.

I believe it can be found in:
Code:
C:\ProgramData\GameMakerStudio2
But if it doesn't even start up it's possible it may not exist or be being created.

Did you check the other things I mentioned?
Yeah, it definitely doesn't exist. I added Gamemaker to my allowed list on my firewall and I disabled antivirus and it didn't work. Do you mean reinstall it with my antivirus deactivated? It says it hasn't detected a virus in over 24 hours and I just downloaded the game a few hours ago.

Yeah might be worth a try just in case it was stopping any files being installed or removing them etc.

If that doesn't work get in touch with support and see what they say.
