I try to un-install & Re-install it, but it didn't change anythings.

Thanks for your report, we had several of "Kleo won't start" reports and the startup was indeed fragile.
For Gpg4win-3.0 we have fixed that whole class of loading problems by not using a wrapper anymore and no special dll loading code. We've also removed the dependency to additional startup helpers like dbus and kbuildsycoa so the startup of kleopatra should be now much more stable.

You can find a Testversion of the upcoming 3.0 version under: https://wiki.gnupg.org/Gpg4win/Testversions
