Description

I have installed the Arduino IDE from teh Windows Store on Windows 10 Version 1709 build 16299.248 . When I attempt to start it, it gives only a window with an error message:

```
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ArduinoLLC.ArduinoIDE_1.8.10.0_x86_mdqgnx93n4wtt\arduino.exe

Bad Paremeter

```
Not thet my Windows is a german version and the actual error message is "Falscher parameter" which I translated to "Bad Parameter" or "Wrong parameter"

I tried to deinatll and reinstall with noch chang ein behavior.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with Arduino IDE 1.8.10 from the Windows Store on Windows 10 version 1709, including the German-language environment. Investigate the startup path and available diagnostics; done means the IDE starts normally instead of showing the “Bad Parameter” error.
