GNAT Studio (GPS) not launching on windows 10

I've just installed the Adacore's IDE GNAT Studio on Windows 10. The installation process went smoothly, then I added the binary directory to the path (C:\GNAT\2020\bin in my case). I can compile a simple program using the CLI (gprbuild) but the IDE itself isn't working. I found a similar question on superuser here but there's no answer.

Here are the links to the package I installed :

Window executable x64

Readme file

Thank you for your time.

Adding GNATSTUDIO_HOME to my env variables fixed this problem for me.

I finally managed to launch GNAT Studio on my computer. After googling a bit, I found this page listing common GNAT problems. There, I learned that GNAT Studio not launching may be related to the .gps folder. As my GPS install was fresh, I didn't need to create a new folder. However, I suspected that the .gps folder may be inaccessible due to my user folder name containing spaces and special characters. I then proceeded to change my username first and user folder name second. After that, I reinstalled GNAT Studio and it worked fine.
