Arduino IDE gets stuck in an infinite loop on the splash screen/logo after double-clicking. Reinstalling does not work!

Description: My operating system is Windows 10. I am currently experiencing an issue where the Arduino IDE fails to open.

Specific Symptoms:

  • After double-clicking the desktop icon, the application gets stuck and freezes on the startup/loading screen (splash screen).

  • I have already tried uninstalling the software and downloading/reinstalling the latest version, but it still won't open.

Please follow the instruction in IDE hangs up at start with pulsing logo in loop - #2 by ptillisch and post the result here.
