IDE window doesn't open

Continuing the discussion from Arduino IDE 2.3.2 Windows 10 won't launch:

Hello, I'm having the same problem. Installed Arduino IDE 2.3.2 from the website and worked fine three days ago. Tried opening today and didn't open, it's running in task manager and I can see it with ALT+TAB.
Uninstalled it, rebooted laptop and installed it again for a few times but still won't start.

Was there a solution? I couldn't find a clear solution on this issue.

Did you use a dual monitor setup and removed the monitor where the IDE was running last? If so, try the solution in IDE doesn't open - #10 by sterretje.

Hi i have the same problem but after installing older version 1-8-16 also
i could use 1-8-18 version 2 start icoons on screen
So try to install 1-8-16 and then install 1-8-18 it should work same howe.

i hope it works for you it was a direct install for win 10 64 bit (new pc clean).

That was the problem!
Attached a new monitor and moved the IDE back to my main screen and had no problems since :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Had same problem today with ver 2.3.3. Was working great for over a month now. Ran inside powershell and saw debug errors stating could not find certain folders. Remembered I just deleted a shortcut to "Documents" folder off my windows home screen. Restored shortcut and ver 2.3.2 is now working again.
