Windows 10: GOG Games Not Booting

Hello all,I recently got an Alienware x17 R2 with Intel i9 and Geforce RTX 3080ti, running on WINDOWS 11. I've been having nothing but problems on GOG Galaxy application. None of my games will boot-up. I click the Play button and it goes grey for a few seconds says Snyc 0% but then an additional pop-up appears saying it was successfully synced... Whenever I play games on both Steam or Epic Games applications they run and work PERFECT... like a charm. It's only GOG games that aren't playing. Sometimes like for STALKER Call of Pripyat, the game is actually RUNNING IN TASK MANAGER, but nothing

Problems with GoG/Account

Bought Witcher 3 - physical DVD's - Installed just fine and have been playing. I went to get the free DLC and my GOG account says game not there. In GOG galaxy, it shows up as installed but when I try to DO anything but play the game it wants a "code" and since I don't have a code that's the end of it. I downloaded the DLC but when I try to install it says game needs a patch, which takes be back to the account and code etc. I sent in a support request but thought that as long as I have to wait anyway, that I'd try here to see if anyone might know what's wrong. Its all really no big deal as the DLC is just horse armor, hair and beard extras etc. but I would still like to have it. Any suggestions?

 

Gaming Site Question, Steam or GOG?.

GoG games a drm free whereas Steam are so GOG wins there.
GoG games often have fixes available for problem games. These can be resolution fixes/upgrades to OS compatibility fixes.
The GoG version of some games are the full games whereas the Steam version either doesn’t work well or has been edited. An example is the old PS1 Dracula game, the Steam version omits several points in the game whereas the GoG version has these.
Both Steam & GoG have regular sales.
