As someone who likes Thunderbird, and helps / answers questions here without being paid (no one here is paid to help with Thunderbird), I will try to forgive your comment about Thunderbird being nothing but trouble. :)

On your keyboard, please hold down the Windows key and press the "R" key.

In the run box, type: thunderbird.exe

Does Thunderbird open?

If not, then uninstall Thunderbird. Reboot. Download the latest version of Thunderbird , and install it.
