Fall Creators Update + Minion not opening

Since updating Windows 10 to Fall Creators Update 3 days ago Minion will not open. The process is in Task Manager but it never actually launches. There was a similar issue previously with MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner Staistics Server causing some kind of conflict with Minion not launching (affected Handbrake as well) but I've closed MSI AB and RTSS (and many more programs). Seems to be a different issue this time. Tried re-installing Minion, didn't fix it.

Any ideas? Any other info or files needed?

Edit: Removed GPU driver with DDU and installed latest FCU Beta display driver 17.10.2. Minion still not opening.

Windows 10 x64 FCU
Minion 64bit
MSI Z97 MPOWER MAX AC
i7-4790K
290X Lightning (17.4 Beta driver for W10 FCU)
2x8GB DDR3-2400 CL10
Attached Files
File Type: log minion.log (1.03 MB, 393 views)
File Type: xml minion.xml (5.8 KB, 515 views)

Code:
FeedClient:getRoutePlanner(61): System Default Http Proxy.

It seems you are using a HTTP proxy within your network.
Minion is not able to connect to the needed ressources via that proxy.
Howto change http proxy within Win10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0idTEdlID8

Maybe disable it or check if some malware affected your PC and added a proxy (if you say you ar enot using a proxy).
And check if your antivirus / antimalware / firewall programs running are allowing Minion the internet access. Create an "acknowledged" rule for Minion in these programs.

As far as I know I don't use any proxy. The Windows settings are on default/Auto. I only have the built-in Windows Defender + Firewall as well, along with Malwarebytes offline scans. None are finding any malware.

If I disable Defender + Firewall Minion still doesn't run. Not sure what else to try. Nothing network hardware related has changed with my config either, only updated to Fall Creators Update.

I'll try Safe Mode With Networking and see what happens.

Edit: Typing this from Safe Mode With Networking, Minion still won't open.

Here is everything from today 11/7/2017 from the log file (in case anything changed):

I tried the command found in this thread: http://esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4307 with admin cmd prompt but it didn't change the HTTP Proxy situation. Also tried an ipconfig /flushdns, didn't work.

I'm dying without Minion here. Really don't want to manually update 20+ addons.

Did you test Minion 32bit version and 64bit version? Sometimes the 64bit verison gets stuck so the 32bit version runs.
