PC Terraria won't launch due to WindowMaximized setting

[srpp]

After reinstalling the game three times in total on both of my drivers, using compatibility mode, launching as administrator, turning off various software, restarting pretty much everything multiple times, updating drivers, verifying files many times, I've finally found the reason to Terraria refusing to launch with no error popups or logs.

In the config.json file, the "WindowMaximized": true, setting prevents the game from launching. The program will start, and before the game window is created, close itself after a few seconds.

I've come across 2 other threads about this issue in the forums, neither of which have any replies. Currently the workaround is either deleting the config file and letting the game create a fresh one, or manually editing the forementioned line, in case someone comes across this thread.

Here is the windows event log:
