I am on Windows 10 with a Razer 2018 15".

My system overheated and crashed (unrelated to Launchbox).

The m.2 stopped working for a day but now everything is back to normal (except launchbox).

There are references to the SteamLauncher plugin in that error. Try copying that plugin out of the plugin folder and see if it helps.
