OK well I found the issue, Rivatuner Statistics (an old version since automatic updating seems to not be working, process name RTSS.exe) seems to be the cause of my issue. More specifically its sub-process (?) RTSSHookLoader64.exe seems to be the main culprit. After ending that process in the task manager, the emulator now loads fine. So yeah, seems like I had an old version of Rivatuner.
