IDE won't start

All of a sudden the IDE softwre won't open correctly. It goes through the normal startup but it loads into a tray icon and won't open at all. I even reinstalled the IDE to the latest and still no good. I am running Windows 10. What could be going on?

Please do this:

  • Start the Windows command line "cmd".
  • Run the program arduino_debug.exe that you will find in the Arduino IDE installation folder from the command line.
  • Copy the output that's printed to the cmd window and paste it here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the toolbar).

Hopefully that will give us some information we can use to help you with the problem.

I figured it out. It was a display issue. Somehow it got stuck running on my second display when the display wasn't available. Strange but I got it back. Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to post an update edlentz. I'm glad you got it working!
