try to find out why it does not run.

If you have been using Kleopatra as an administrator before (which is not 
recommended), you may have a permission problem somewhere.
So one way could be to move away (backup) your GnuPG data and then see
if Kleopatra runs again.

You can just continue there, if you know what you are doing and can live
with the permission and security consequences (as outlined in 
https://wiki.gnupg.org/Gpg4win/RunAsUser)
