**Description**  
When I open processing.exe, the logo window of processing shows up for about 2-3 seconds then it simply closes. Nothing happens after that. Even Task Manager has no process related to it.  
I have been using processing for 3 months and it had worked great. But suddenly one day onwards it is showing this behaviour.

**Expected Behavior**  
Whenever we open processing.exe, after displaying the logo window, the editor should open up.

**Current Behavior**  
But in my case, it just closes after the logo window.

**Steps to Reproduce**  
I have tried the following steps:

1. Delete processing, and download a new one
2. Download the latest version of java
3. Run processing as admin
4. But none of these makes things better.

**My Environment**

> Processing version: 3.3.7  
> Operating System and OS version: Windows 10 Home  
> Other information: 64bit

Please check if these posts help:

One more thing you could try is to look for a pde file via your file browser and double click on it to see if that opens Processing.
