you could try to delete processing
and download 3.5.3 and install again,
but need to delete the settings directory also
c:\users\ < you >???\processing\ where also preferences.txt is
//
not delete your sketchbook dir.
//
and try the update while in english language menu???
I deleted preferences , reinstalled processing again and used English menu . But still the same problem .
Just a guess: you could try out v3.4 just for updating libraries: 
Download.Processing.org/processing-3.4-windows64.zip
Also consider uncompressing the “processing-3.4-windows64.zip” in your “%HOMEPATH%\Documents” folder or some other place away from the OS’s system folders.
