  1. This file doesnt have associated App with it Error


    Hi Guys, few days ago, i got a new PC without Hard drive, I tried using my Laptop hard drive (windows 10), secured with UEFI but it was not able to boot on pc. I had another Hard drive as well which i purchased and had pre installed windows 7 (Not genuine though), Both Drives were attached and I used later one to boot windows, While doing so, Windows 7 chkdsk feature detected my UEFI secured Hard drive disks and run through them. I also Opened the UEFI drives when logged in successfully. i detached my Laptop drive and Placed it in laptop again to work on laptop but this time, Most of applications on laptop were giving error, This file does not have app associated with it... Bla bla... I was worried about this, So i tried to reset my windows while keeping files, but when i did so, i was not able to see my sole adminstrator account in the list and i had to restart laptop without any fix. Later on, Desktop stopped showing up, Task bar not responding, If i click on start button, Virus scanning is closed automatically. What should i do now?

    Edit: When windows restart and i login to account, Error pops up, "Update.exe - This Application could not be started: Do you want to view information about this issue? " If i click yes, nothing pop up.

    File Association Helper in Startup

    from another forum on May 6, 2018:
    You can uninstall File Association Helper in less than 5 minutes. Here are the steps to follow:

    Step 1 — Uninstall File Association Helper via Control Panel

    Simply go to Start > type Control Panel > double click the first result to launch Control Panel.
    Then go to Uninstall a program > locate File Association Helper in the list and select it
    Select Uninstall > wait until Windows completely removes FAH from your PC.
    Restart your PC.
    Step 2 — Clean the Registry Editor

    Now that you removed the program, you also need to remove any traces or file changes associated with it. To do that, you need to open the Registry Editor.

    Go to Start > type “regedit” > launch the Registry Editor
    Locate the following keys and delete them:
    KEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareFile Association Helper
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareFile Association Helper

    Step 3 — Check all the hidden files and folders

    File Association Helper may have left behind various hidden files and folders. In order to completely remove the software, you can also need to delete these files. Here’s how to do that:

    Step 4 — Empty Temp Folder

    The final step is to clean the Temp folder where all the temporary files are stored. To empty the folder, go to Start and type the %temp% command.

    This will open the Temp folders. You can now empty them. If the system displays an error message when deleting some files, leave them. The files might be in use by Windows services or some running software.

    Step 5 — Use a dedicated tool to remove software leftovers

    After you performed all the steps listed above, you have removed 99.9% of all the files and folders left behind by File Association Helper. However, there may be a few file that escaped your scrutiny. In order to make sure that you have removed all of them, you can also use a dedicated software uninstaller.

    These applications are specially designed to remove the selected application along with all of its files and registry entries. As a result, the application will be completely removed from your PC.

    There are many great uninstaller tools available on the market, but the best are IOBit Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller so feel free to try any of these tools.
