Good day everyone, I just bought a system with window 8. I downloaded Python 3.10 and after installing it,to my surprise, the Idle does not open when I click, although the command prompt is working. I've tried all possible best to resolve this, all to no avail. How can I overcome this?

With the given details, I can't say something that will work 100% but there are people who were dealing with similar issues:
I had this issue too, I realized that I had installed the 32bit version on a machine running 64bit. So I uninstalled and installed the 64bit and it's fine now.
or
Can you launch Python from a command line and then launch IDLE from there?
cd c:\python33
python
After python starts, enter the following:
import idlelib.idle
I suggest you either try these methods or just straight up reinstall Python to your computer. But be sure to download the right one for your hardware.

Again, you need to provide more detail.
