Python IDLE refuse to launch
Python Idle recently straight up refuse to launch, launching it from start menu or its own folder does nothing. Repairing and reinstalling does nothing, nor does running it in older versions of windows does anything.
No changes were made to the program before this. It could be due to a windows update but highly doubted it.
normally, I would get error messages or something. But nothing this time, it doesn't even show up in task manager.

Have you tried a previous version to see if it works? Also make sure you have the correct version (x64 or x86)
