A colleague of mine saw something similar on his Windows 10 machine last
week. He would double click on the Creator Icon (version 3.5.1 I believe)
and it would appear that Creator was not started, though task manager
showed it running. Eventually we figured out that disabling his virus
scanner fixed the problem. I don't remember which virus scanner he was
using.
