I start it, it loads for barely a second, that's it. Nothing opens whatsoever. I tried reinstalling it multiple times using both the download from the website and the jetbrains toolbox. I did even reinstall java. I found the same problem here but the question did not get answers. I can start intellij using the bin\idea.bat file but not using the idea64.exe file. No idea why this happens. I am using java version 15.0.2, theoretically intellij IDEA Community Edition 2020.3.2 on windows 10.

    if you start from command line. Do you see any error ? You can also find error information in intellij log file. – Amit Feb 11 '21 at 19:29
