Warcraft retail crashing at logon screen

After the patch last week World of Warcraft began crashing at the login screen.

Launch from battle.net or from windows folder result is the same.

Tried setting the optional items at the bottom of the options page to minimal and others to autodetect. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling both battle.net and warcraft using the options in battle.net and in windows 10. Result is the same:
Warcraft retail launches, cinematic plays fine and when it gets to the launch page it crashes. It did this during the last xpac but worked around it with some help from tech support. This time tech support just keeps marking help requests as resolved and cut and past same text to say “go try this” even though I did those things and told them I did those things. Not going to pay for the new xpac if I can’t launch the current game.

Only way I have found to keep it from crashing at char select screen is to quickly attempt to click another char in the list. If you do not have one you are messed over. Any char I have in favorites, crashes on launch of wow. If I take them out of favorites I can login to them fine. Something is very wrong with this game, not a wonderful way to return to the game after a 10 years break.
