    Explorer.exe doesn't start on it's own, Command Prompt isn't opening


    Not sure why this is started happening, my anti-virus is not showing any problems in terms of malware, but my explorer.exe stopped booting on its own, I can't access command prompt because it just doesn't start, every time I restart my PC it logs me out of everything on Chrome. Lastly, whenever I run MS Word 2016 and try to change the font, the app crashes and then when I go into task manager or any folder in the file explorer(or anywhere on the pc) it changes to blank names whenever I hover over it with my mouse.


    I have created a new user with admin rights where the explorer.exe launches on its own and command prompt works just fine.

    I have tried these steps on the new user profile
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...rrupted-system

    but it didn't work, although it said it fixed something but after the restart everything was the same with regards to my issues on my main user profile



    I am running Windows 10 Pro x64 Build #18363
    I am also running Kaspersky Internet Security as a third party anti-virus
    I have a hard drive Model Hitachi HDS721010CLA632 and an SSD Model Samsung SSD 960 EVO 500GB

    Unfortunately, I haven't backed anything up in years

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

  3. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks for your answer, ken!
    I deleted all my data. I had have it backed up.

    I did a clean installation using the windows media creation tool (usb option).

    No, I didn`t. I thought a clean installation would solve the problem.

    After posting my previous message, I did it.

    After chkdsk, I close cmd and tried to boot and the laptop just turned it off. This morning I`ve restarted it and automatically windows did a repair. Windows has booted and it seems that the repair tool has removed chrome and acrobat pdf reader (the only two programs I had installed after reinstalling windows).

    Now Windows is installing updates and restarting my lapop, I`m kind of frightened. I don`t want it to happen again. Anyhow, I want to know what has brought the issue

    I`ve been looking for information about the error code at the end of the picture and I didn`t get anywhere.
