I have been trying to open arduino IDE for the past hour with no luck. Ive looked at countless posts here from people who had the same problem. Every time I launch Arduino It opens and I can see the toolbar, but there is no window that opens. I tried deleting it and downloading it again, which didn't work. I'm completely lost.
Which operating system are you using?
Did it ever work?
Can you post a screenshot as it's not quite clear (to me) what you see?
Not sure if I can help but additional information will help others to help you.
I am using MacOS: Ventura 13.0.1, to clarify; Arduino IDE will not run. When I start it, no window will open.
How long are you waiting, there is a fair amount to download before it can fully open.
I've had it open for about 45 minutes since I re-downloaded. I haven't even seen the splash screen.
That's plenty long as long as you have an internet connection. If no internet it will not finish.
Im posting from the same laptop that it is having the issue, so I don't think that would be the problem
I'm having the same issue. Downloaded, opened, only those same options in the menu bar. No windows open, no indication of anything happening.
Can you please post the log?
I'm not a Mac user but the log files are located in /Users//Library/Logs/Arduino IDE/ (source Why is Arduino 2.3.3. (MacOS) consuming 300% CPU? - #42 by ptillisch).
Close the IDE, delete all log files, start the IDE, wait a bit (maybe a few minutes?), close the IDE and copy/paste the content of the new log here using code tags so it's easy to copy for analysis. If it's too big (120000 characters), attach it.
I am also having this issue. Below is the activity from the logs `

Can you ping localhost?
