Hello, Whenever I try to open IDLE it doesn't open, but when I open it on my other computer it opens. So, on my main computer I have to run IDLE with admin to get it too at least open

    In genral, if IDLE fails to start, start it from a command line (Command Prompt) and copy/paste the startup command and any error message. If you are running Microsoft Store python, 'python3 -m idlelib' should start IDLE.

    I suspect this report is a duplicate of #98324 (comment). Please see if the solution there works.
