Not some antivirus or firewall block?
Usually when the miner does not open it is because something is stopping him.

Windows defender is disabled?

What do you mean that you update the windows 7? did you change the OS to Windows 10 or you just update the windows 7 to the latest update?

Like the above said it might be because of Antivirus protection you need to exclude the installation folder of nicehash so that it will ignore for scanning.

Also, try to reinstall the nicehash and make sure it is a latest version of nicehash.

To not run in this issue again and get the best possible speed for your rig.
I'll suggest updating it to Windows 10 LTSC version, doing all the remaining software update and then disabling Windows Defender and updates using Group policy panel.
Just remember as there will be no malware protection, you should only download wallets, miners, etc. from their official site and Github releases.

Few things you can do,

Simplest is just to use the old version that worked before. There are probably no performance increases with the new version, especially if you are mining ETH.

Another method is just to mine with different software. Download ETH miners like Claymore ETH miner and set it up yourself and use Nicehash as your pool and you will be paid the same way. Not that difficult to set up.

Third is what everybody suggested, it was most likely flagged and most AV just auto-remove it without even telling you sometimes. Add it to the non-restricted list and see if it works. Strange why the old version wasn't detected but the new one was.
