What is your CPU and RAM?

Did it work before, or is it a new installation?

Did you:

1. Install to a different drive than C:, or, if you only have one drive, then to something like C:\P3D instead of the default location, and

2. Run the installer as Administrator?

With P3d you can stay with your problem because there is no support for the customers
Only the forum and you spend your time to read all the posts but yours is not resolved

You are, of course, aware of the EULA that you agreed to when you installed P3D.

See section 6 of the EULA.

So, now that is out of the way, let's take another look at your issue. In your first post, you said:

"When i Launch P3D.exe i have the screen scenario start up and the program is blocked"

How do you mean "blocked" - what exactly happens when you get to that screen?

Try this:

With P3D shut down, delete your prepar3d.cfg file. When you then start P3D the next time, a new default file will be generated.

It might be UAC (User Account Control) that is causing this. Could you maybe turn that off, for the experiment? You can always turn it back on.
