Processing will not start

Description

When I double-click on processing.exe, the logo window of Processing shows up for a couple of seconds and then it disappears.

My Environment

Processing version: 3.4
Operating System and OS version: Windows 10
Other information: 64bit, 16GB RAM, 4k display plus HD display, but also tried with single HD display.

Starting with Processing with --l4j-debug produces the following log file.

After enabling debugging information, I get the following in the console/*.out file:
