How did you start IDLE?

it says: "Subprocess startup error".

There are over 5 possible reasons for this.

That is helpful to know. How did you install python? What installer, what options?

I tried to reinstall Python and to use the 64-bit and the 32-bit version
too. Neither of them worked.

If python starts and runs, which it did to display that message, then there is no reason to reinstall completely. A repair might be needed if a particular file is bad.

I also googled my problem but none of those
solutions helped me.

Since you did not say what did not work, I don't know what not to suggest ;-). Anyway...

Have you added any files to the Python36 directory?  If so, what.

Open a Command Prompt window. (Type 'com' in the Win 10 search bar "Type here to search" and look under apps.) After the 'path>' prompt, enter

path> python -m idlelib
or
path> py -3 -m idlelib

If you get the same message and click OK, do you see any error messages?

A workaround, hopefully temporary, is to add the -n (no subprocess) option for IDLE.

> python -m idlelib -n

IDLE will execute you code in the same process with IDLE's. This usually works but occasionally there can be a conflict.
