i have had the same issue, but i have found a semi fix to this glitch. if you have 1.0 or the 0.90 (via the store) 32,bit only then you have a file "ksp_win" or a ksp_1.0, open the file and look for a file "patcher" simply remove that file (via moving or deleting) then launch the launcher insted of seeing "checking for updates" you will get "downloading patcher" after that you can update to 1.0 or play game but you have to repeat this to play via the launcher until they patch the glitch..... honestly we shude not have to deal with this obvious glitch they had 100 volunteers test this patch to prevent stuff like this.
