IDE starts and stuck on the logo animation, I have tried uninstall/install yet nothing changed, also I have tried some solutions from similar topics

here is the log from powershell:

Hi @eiad131.

It seems that somehow the configuration of the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform (machine identifier arduino:avr) has somehow been corrupted. It should be possible to fix it by uninstalling the bad installation and then reinstalling a fresh copy of the platform. I'll provide instructions you can follow to do that:

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
    All Arduino IDE windows will close.
  2. Delete the folder at the following path:
    C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr
    :exclamation: If looking for it with your file manager or command line, note that the AppData folder is hidden by default. On Windows "File Explorer", you can make it visible by opening the "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".
    :warning: Please be careful when deleting things from your computer. When in doubt, back up!
  3. Start Arduino IDE.
    This time it should start up fully.
  4. Select Tools > Board > Boards Manager... from the Arduino IDE menus to open the "Boards Manager" view in the left side panel.
  5. Scroll down through the list of boards platforms until you see the "Arduino AVR Boards" entry.
  6. Click the "INSTALL" button at the bottom of the entry.
  7. Wait for the installation process to finish, as indicated by a notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window:

    Successfully installed platform ...
