Description
Opening Arduino IDE 1.8.5 in Windows 10 stops at "initializing package".
This is a screenshot of the arduino_debug.exe output:
```
java.lang.Error: IP Helper Library GetIpAddrTable function failed
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the hang in Arduino IDE 1.8.5 on Windows 10 and inspect the arduino_debug.exe output, especially the IP Helper Library GetIpAddrTable error. Trace the initialization failure to its cause and verify a documented fix or confirmed workaround resolves the stuck startup.
