Try to move/delete the config files.

1) go to %localappdata% (enter that literally in an explorer window) it'll go to a hidden folder usually C:\User\YourUsername\AppData\Local\
2) re-move the "ardour5" folder there. That'll reset all preferences

Maybe just re-name the folder or move %localappdata%\ardour5 to the desktop as backup. That may also allow to investigate as to why this happened.

Thank you, it launches now, haven't been able to test functionality yet though.
