Setup: Windows 11, all updates, texlive 2021, all updates, win64 from CTAN.
The files that were previously compiling flawlessly with LuaLaTeX stopped compiling now (I cannot check when exactly, as I haven't been using LuaLaTeX for a while). As I cannot change LuaLaTeX to any other engine (I have things like luatexja), I started experimenting and found out that even the document of the form below:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
aa
\end{document}
causes LuaLaTeX to freeze, probably in some cycle, and never reach completion. Here is how the log looks like when I terminate it:

- lualatex.exe from the folder \texlive\2021\bin\win64, which I use by default, does not work and produces the aforementioned log.
I have manually wiped the \win64 folder and replaced it by the contents of https://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/w32tex/TLW64/ . This changed nothing: XeLaTeX works without problems, no matter win32 or win64, only LuaLaTeX works only from win32. As for the pdfLaTeX version in win64, it does not even start. Out of all this I assume some problem occured with the win64 versions of the executable files. I can continue now with using the win32 versions for a while (as I have been doing with pdfLaTeX all the time), but still hope to have a working LuaLaTeX, as I regularly handle really large files with LuaLaTeX, which the 32-bit versions do no process.
