I feel like I’m doing something really dumb. Processing will not open for me (it was opening yesterday), and I see 7 posts about the output of l4j-debug. But when I run l4j-debug, I don’t get any console output at all, it just returns. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
OS: Windows 10

Figure it out, the log file was in the folder, I was just expecting it to literally print it out in the console. Still, the log file looks fine to me, so I’m not sure what the problem is

Deleted AppData\>Roaming\>Processing, moved Documents\>Processing, deleted all Processing folders and re-installed. No luck. When I run the new install, it just exits immediately, exit code 0, no new AppData\>Roaming\>Processing folder is created. The mystery continues

Woohoo! Fixed it! The Windows 10 antivirus had quarantined a file. I fixed it by going to Virus & Threat Protection \> Protection History \> and restoring the quarantined file. Super annoying because Windows does this even though you tell it to allow everything when you are first downloading and running it.
