C:\Programs\Python35>pythonw

C:\Programs\Python35>

Normal behavior.

Try
 > python -m idlelib
or, if that does not start 3.5,
 > py -3.5 -m idlelib
and you should either see Idle or an error message

If Idle is starting but not connecting, as you seems to say, there there 
is a problems with your network socket configuration or another program. 
  Adding -n at the end of the command line will will bypass that, though 
you could have other problems in certain situations.

Please see my Who uses IDLE? thread.
