Please try the following and report your results:

1) Hold down the Shift key and right click the directory containing `summertimesaga.exe`.
2) Select "Open PowerShell window here".
3) Paste (or type) `lib\py3-windows-x86_64\python.exe summertimesaga.py` into the PowerShell window.
4) Press Enter.

This seems to work for some users encountering this issue, but it's also very rare so we don't have a lot of information on it. Hopefully it at least gets you up and running. :)

Only other thing I can think to try to hold down the Shift key when you start the game — keep it held down until a light grey screen appears. Using that screen you should be able to select "Force ANGLE2 Renderer" then "Quit". Start the game again normally and hope for the best, fingers crossed.
