Infinite loading screen

after opening both server and the launcher and pressing play, i get stuck on the first tarkov splashscreen with an infinite loading wheel. the only discrepancy i can see is that after opening the sptinstaller again (having already installed spt), it says i dont have "windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.4" even tho i do have that installed

<--my only three options for this program are "repair, uninstall or close

this didnt help ive already made sure all of that was correct and ive redownloaded spt and tarkov multiple times, i have multiple versions of .net installed but the installer is telling me i still dont have it installed
