when i double click it, it just crash without any message. i can run v 2.44, even v2.55 only v 2.56 crashed, any ideas?
Please first try to run Picard from command prompt. For this make sure you have install Picard via I stalled and are not using the portable version or the one from Windows Store.
Then open a command prompt and type:
"C:\Program Files\MusicBrainz Picard\picard.exe" -d
Make sure to include the quotation marks. Press enter. There should be some output on the command prompt just before Picard crashes. Paste that output or a screenshot of the command prompt here. If you have trouble getting the entire output ( the Windows command prompt can be a bit quirky to use) make sure to at least include the last part of the output, that’s the most interesting.
Afterwards you can also try if removing plugins and/or settings allows you to start Picard again. See http://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/troubleshooting/does_not_start.html
But please try getting the logs first, as this can allow us to identify the actual issue. Also make a note which plugins you had installed.

Thanks a lot for the details, that should help getting this fixed. I 'll take a look.
The issue indeed was with the localization, it was breaking some of the variable placeholder used in some texts. I have updated the translation file to fix this. The fix will be in the next release, see PICARD-2097. Until then I’m afraid you need to use the English version as a workaround.
