Python3.9.0 Idle Wont Open How Do I Fix This?

Question

I am not sure why my python 3.9 idle isnt opening VIDEO I have tried multiple times but it still isnt opening for me

I tried repairing it in control panel but it still isnt working I also tried to reinstall it but I am still having the same problem it just wont open no matter how much I click

my idle path on my folder enter image description here

C:\Users\Habib\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Python 3.9

on my IDle properties it says V

TARGET: C:\Users\Habib\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\pythonw.exe "C:\Users\Habib\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw"

START: C:\Users\Habib\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\

OUTPUT I GET WHEN I PUT py -m idlelib

Can you open python itself? If so, does 'import tkinter' work? In Command Prompt, does 'python -m idlelib' or 'py -m idlelib' work? If not, what happens? Are any error messages displayed. — Terry Jan Reedy, Oct 24 '20 at 05:19

Python 3.9 is very new and it may not be working with your system try switching back to python 3.8.6 and it looks like you havent added python to path
