IDE won't start after update to 2.2.0

Software IDE 2.x
1

Any solutions?

Updated today to 2.2.0 on win 10. NO START. reupdate, reinstall, restart... only logo keeps pumping in the main window.

Hi @stormblast. I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

Please do this:

  1. Close all Arduino IDE windows if the IDE is already running.
  2. Start Windows "File Explorer".
  3. Open the Arduino IDE installation folder.
    ⓘ The default installation location is at one of the following paths: 
    • C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE

    • C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE
      (where <username> is your Windows username)
      :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".
  4. In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold the Shift key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.
  5. From the context menu, click "Open PowerShell window here".
    Windows PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino IDE installation folder.
  6. Type the following command:
    & ".\Arduino IDE"
  7. Press the Enter key.
    Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as Arduino IDE starts.
  8. Wait until you are sure the IDE startup has gone into the hang state
    (as indicated by no additional output being printed to the terminal).
  9. Switch back to the PowerShell window if the Arduino IDE window took the focus.
  10. Right click on the title bar of the PowerShell window.
    This will open a context menu.
  11. Select Edit > Select All from the context menu.
    This will select all the text in the PowerShell window.
  12. Press Ctrl+C.
    This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard.
  13. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  14. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    Code tags icon on toolbar
  15. Press Ctrl+V.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
  16. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  17. Click the Reply button to post the output.

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

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I had created another thread with my PowerShell output so I won't hijack OP's post.

After 2.2 installed, it immediately wanted to install 2.2.1. See if that window is in the background.
