Try opening a Windows console (command prompt) and launching IDLE from 
that, just in case some more informative error messages are printed to 
the console. You can try these commands:

python36 -m idlelib

python37 -m idlelib


and if they print any error messages, please copy the ENTIRE 
message and send them to this list.
