I don't know.  

But Idle depends on Tkinter.

I would ask if Tkinter works on a Windows 10 beta preview over here:
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss

and see what they say.  If tkinter doesn't work, then idle won't.
If you have to do something special to get tkinter to work they
will know what it is.

And if they say -- no, works great here --- then we have a different
problem,  probably a bug.
