A few years ago I installed the Electrum wallet for Windows.
---
I did find the Program Files, for example: electrum-4.2.2.exe... I clicked on it but nothing happens.


You did not write which version of Windows you have - is it perhaps W7? From what can be read, versions 4.2.x of Electrum do not support W7. You can find more information at this link -> https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7728

But above, he mentioned that after clicking electrum-4.2.2.exe, nothing happened.

If he uses Windows 7 and tries to open that version of Electrum, then at least an error message will appear, as mentioned in the issue in the GitHub link that you included above. I just tried it on Windows 7, and the System error message appeared.




However, because OP has a seed phrase, his wallet can still be recovered by reinstalling the latest Electrum with Windows OS, which supports that version of Electrum.
