Is it a fresh installation, or do you have a configuration directory and a database? You can use flags (see the manual linked above) to temporarily switch to an empty directory for your config and database. Do you get the same error? Does your log still contain the same message?

No, it is not a “fresh installation”, I “have a configuration directory and a database”. I have daktable installed in my computer for quite a long time.

I don’t know how to use flags and I don’t see where is the link you mentioned.
command line switches or options in Windows speak… add --configdir “path” to the end of your command to run DT… easy way is to copy your desktop shortcut and modify… make path a new empty directory… this will run DT with new default config files… if it runs then maybe indicates an issue with database corruption or other
to get some more information you can run darktable from command line with debug logging: darktable -d common
Then you may provide the output (see faq | darktable) and also the bugtrace mentioned in the error message window.
No one can help without that information - just arbitrary guessing…
to exclude a corrupt config you can rename your C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\darktable to something something different so darktable can start with a clean config. If darktable now starts successfully then it’s not an issue of your system config but your darktable config.
