Help! Arduino IDE 1.8.18 won't load

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi!
I've been using the Arduino IDE succesfully on my main computer for years without any problem. Now I wanted to install the Arduino IDE on my Windows 10 Laptop. Upon launching the application, the loading screen opens, but then the application closes again.

I have already searched the web for possible solutions, but nothing works for me. The in this context often mentioned Arduino15 folder exists on my computer, but it is just a blank. Deleting this folder does not fix my issue.

I hope anyone knows of any alternative solutions?

Thanks!

First do a complete uninstall of the current IDE (https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360021325733-Uninstall-Arduino-IDE ) and then install the latest version ( try both Arduino IDE 1.8.19 & Arduino IDE 2.0 RC).

If the issue persist, post any error message that comes up.

For IDE 1.8.x, open a command prompt, navigate to the installation directory and run the debug version of the IDE. Possibly call arduino-debug.exe (not behind a PC to check).

Post the output here.

arduino_debug.exe, but your guess was likely close enough to get the point across.

I got it working! Reinstalling didn't help and the debug.exe showed the same problem. However directly opening a project-file instead of starting the IDE itself fixed my issue.

Thanks to anyone who answered!
