I recently reverted changes concerning a data transfer to an ssd. I used blizzard net to locate the files for the game and after that process was completed, I pressed play. What happened next was I got a black screen for 2 seconds and then the window closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled both Overwatch and battle.net multiple times and I still get the same issues. Other blizzard games work but it seems that just Overwatch has a problem. I also tried running as admin, reverting all in-game changes and scan and repair though there is no change to the outcome of a black screen. No error message either.

If not, are you using any overlays like nVidia ShadowPlay, Xbox DVR, or Discord? Sometimes these can interfere with launching the game.
