Hi @astrnt_he. I see the cause of the problem here in the logs:

Arduino IDE stores some configuration information in various files on your computer. The contents of one of these files was somehow deleted. None of the information stored in the file is irreplaceable, so the loss of the information is not a problem, but the fact that the file exists, but is missing essential configuration information trips Arduino IDE up.

The file is automatically generated with all the essential data contents if Arduino doesn't find an existing file when it attempts to load it on startup, so the simple fix for this problem is to delete the file. I'll provide instructions you can follow to do that:

Close all Arduino IDE windows if it is running.
Delete the file at the following path:
```
E:\Users\astrnt\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml
```
Please be careful when deleting things from your computer. When in doubt, back up!

Now start Arduino IDE again. Hopefully this time it will start up completely and be in a full functional state.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.
