I just tried a fresh install of Netbeans 12.3 and I get all kinds of
errors and end up with a broken Netbeans window that just hangs. If I
run 12.2 once it creates some files and after that 12.3 will start normally.
On Windows 10: Just throw away your /appdata/roaming/Netbeans folder and
try to start Netbeans 12.3 after that.
This will be a huge problem for new installs.
