I reinstall multiple, by what you mean "do not update" is not to open the updater?
I am playing on the latest version on steam "June update" this also happens on old versions

Full delete game (incl. manually delete game folder). Check install directx and video drivers and then install game again (but do not update). In must be work fine (tested on win7 and win10).
