(I've tried the cgf files, I already checked the net framework thing, and all good, LAA, etc.) Mostly, everything was covered and I ran out of ideas...

Just for SnGs, I chose "Run as an administrator" (it should not be necessary), since I was there, but the thing that helped it to actually function correctly was to click on the "Change high DPI settings", and I chose "High DPI scaling Overide - Overide high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: <Application>". That did the trick for my laptop.

Had the same issue as LCQ_SH, and can more or less confirm that propbeanie's solution seem to work or at least is part of the solution. I was gonna satiate my FotRSU cravings and installed SH4+Uboat through Steam on my Win10 v2004 Build 19041. Refused to start on anything but the default 1024x768x60hz.
I naturally manually installed DirectX9 from the SH4\DirectX folder and applied the Large Address Aware.exe utility from FotRSU. I also tested various combinations of settings in the SH4.exe compatibility options, but the only one that seemed to work was the one that propbeanie mentions:
Change high DPI settings > Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: Application.
So now I'm currently running
at least the FotRSU menu screen at 2560x1440x144hz and maximum graphics, using ONLY that particular setting above. Everything else is default/unchecked. And it makes sense that I had to change that setting, because I have both bad eye sight and high DPI monitors, so I scale them to 150%, and I have the "fix scaling for apps" set in the Windows advanced scaling settings. Probably something there that messes with the DPI which makes SH4.exe not work properly.
The next step is to figure out if anything else is needed in the compatibility settings to actually run the game and not just the menu :P
