Ross, do you see a Terminal window with debugging information in parallel to the darktable window? If this is not true, run darktable from within a git bash window to be able to collect all messages.
Download and install git for windows first (https://gitforwindows.org/). "-d" is the option to show the messages for each subsystem, "-d all" for everything (supported). -d is never part of a path name. Take care about "/" or "\" in your path as well. Within git bash terminal window it is "/" and NOT "\".
