Arduino IDE (Win10) crashes when I launch the program

Question

My Arduino IDE (ver 1.8.12 on Win10) crashes when I launch it. Running the arduino_debug.exe I get this error message.

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\

I'm on Windows 10 having exactly this issue (same arduino_debug log). I tried uninstalling Arduino IDE and then reinstalling it from executable installer; it worked fine until I opened the Board manager: the problem recurs.

After installing the beta version (arduino beta1.9-BUILD-119), I'm not having any problem.
