OK, an update.

Thanks for the tip regarding the restart settings option.
I was aware of that, and had it disabled already.

I made some progress and actually got MediaPortal 2.2 pre-release to fully startup.
I had noticed that Windows update has updated my Nvidia cards drivers.

As a test, I changed the drivers to use the basic Windows display drivers from Windows itself.
MediaPortal starts normally and works fine.

It would appear that the issue I am encountering with MediaPortal 1.21 and 1.22 pre-release, is actually Nvidia driver related.
My working MediaPortal 1.20 Final drive image uses much older NVidia drivers than what the Windows Update installs.

As a test, I updated my working MediaPortal 1.20 Final config using Windows Update, and it updated the display drivers to latest WHQL ones, which is a few revisions behind the latest available. It broke the startup again.
I changed the display drivers to use Microsoft basic drivers, and MediaPortal starts loading again fine.

Yes, will send some logs, but it seems to be NVidia driver related.
