Hi,
Not sure if ths is your issue, but over in Wings over Flanders Field and Wings over the Reich there was an issue that came up very recently where the game wouldn't run on first load, but then did on the second attempt.
It related to rundll32.exe which continues to run after closing the failed attempt, and is posisbly being blocked by antivirus programmes; and requires the renaming (the type) of the file gameux.dll.
Here is some text from the link that someone on WoFF found that is itself also below:
Quote:
For ones that are looking the guide how to resolve, here it is:
1) If you're x64 OS, go to windows\syswow64\ and rename gameux.dll to something without .dll extension
2) If you're x86 OS, go to windows\system32\ and rename gameux.dll to something without .dll extension
In both cases you'll have to take ownership and add file permissions.

To get my WoTR working I changed it to a .txt format and the issue was gone.
This may not be your problem, but the timing is interesting.
