As of the past year that I've had my tf2ds, no serious issues have been presented to me. Not until today. I came home and started up my pc and went to launch the shortcut. Yet this time when I did, the console popped up for a millisecond and then disappears. So I've probed the internet for answers but I find nothing remotely close to my issue. But a possibility I've come across was that maybe anti virus software was intervening with the servers launch. But I have Windows Defender off and nothing else can even touch srcds. So I come here for help, if any light could be shined down on the matter, I'd be greatly appreciative.

[The target parameter for the shortcut] - C:\tf2\steamapps\common\Team-Fortress-2-Dedicated-Server\srcds.exe -console -port 27015 -game tf +sv_pure 0 +map ctf_2fort +maxplayers 25 +mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt -num_edicts x -condebug
[And yes, the target path and all that works, since I did run the server last night with no problem. I've also reinstalled it, and even installed ina different location. To no avail.]
