After confirming with "yes" ... nothing happens. In the process list (Process Explorer) I can see that Blink is running and consuming CPU of about 20%. The same happens when I kill Blink and manually start it again: No window, but 20% CPU-Usage.

Thank you for your reply. I was able to locate the output.log file 
within the folder you mentioned, but it has no content and a size of 0 
Bytes.
To be sure, it killed the Blink process, deleted the Blink folder and 
after restarting Blink, the folder is being recreated, the file 
"output.log" is being created, but there ist still no content. Blink 
just sits there as a process without a window using something between 20 
and 21 of CPU.

Maybe the following helps: When I try to explore the blink.exe-stack 
using the Process Explorer from SysInternals I get the following 
information:

I really don't know where to search for any other information that might 
help.
