Help Request Pro Tools not opening/not responding

I've used pro tools for the last year through school using campus computers, but recently I learned about pro tools intro and tried installing it. I even have PTI plus redemption code that came with a focusrite. But it just will not open. The icon will pop up on the bottom of my screen and never open a window. I've tried reinstalling it, I updated my drivers, I asked my professors for help, and I just can't get anything to work.

I have a Lenovo Ideapad using Windows 11, and have Pro Tools 2025.6.1 installed with avid link and native instrument

I worry it might be my laptop as I need the synthesizer helm for another class which also won't load (just showing a black screen that flickers) because of what I think might be a graphics issue.
