For issues such as crashes to desktop, screen freeze and black screens on launch there are several troubleshooting steps I would advise taking to resolve this as these are the most well known fixes to these types of problems -
- Run the games .exe file and the launchers .exe file as Administrator
- Update Ubisoft Connect game launcher
- Update Driver and Windows
- Try re-installing the game or reinstalling to another hard drive or SSD if possible
- Verify the games files in your launcher
- Try a clean boot - This means disabling all background applications and software in Task Manager
- Whitelist the launcher and game in your Anti-Virus software
- Run the game in safe mode
- Delete any temporary installation files
- Do a 'System File Check' on your computer to check corrupted files
