This seems to be a regression. In previous versions I was able to launch usdview (with an empty window / no file) from Omniverse Library > USDView, but in 0.23.8 the “Launch” button shortly spins and then nothing happens.
I tried running it from command line and that works just fine, so I think there’s a regression with how the launch from the Library happens.
When looking at C:\Users\<your name here>\.nvidia-omniverse\logs\launcher.log, I can see it tries to launch:

And when running that .bat manually:
start C:\Users\herbst\AppData\Local\ov\pkg\usdview-0.23.8\scripts\usdview_gui.bat
a new command window opens and logs an actual error:

Running the same usdview manually is fine and logs the expected usdview output:
