    Many programs not launching


    I am not totally sure where else to post this because I just can't seem to find a fix. I have been having this issue for the past month where many programs have been giving me error codes and telling me to reboot my computer in order to launch them. Programs like Gforce Experience, MSI Dragon Center, simply will not launch. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of these and there has been no fix. Another program that has been frustrating me, even more, is ArmouryCrate where the install tool takes about an hour to load and install just for it to say that it cannot install. I'm not totally sure what has been the main cause of this but it has been bothering me because I'm unable to update my drivers and cannot control any of my other lights and such in my pc. Once again, this has been happening for the past month and I have had found no fix to this. And if it helps this did seem to happen all at once when I tried updating my drivers one day and it seemed like only these programs would not launch.

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

  3. 'The program was started in compatibility mode' during launching Onecklicstarter

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    If the program you are referring to is written to work with older version of Windows, Windows 10 will still try to run the program in Compatibility Mode. Program compatibility is a mode in Windows that lets you run programs written for earlier versions of
    Windows.

    I suggest you to reinstall the program in Compatibility mode and check if it helps. follow the below steps.


    • Right click the setup file for the program, this can be designated as
      setup.exe or something similar. Click Troubleshoot Compatibility
      to launch the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter wizard which will check for issues.

    • Select the option “Troubleshoot program”
      and depending on the problems you are experiencing when attempting to install or use the software, check off the problems. Click on Next.

    • Select a version of Windows the program is known to work in.

    • Click on Next and then follow the on screen instructions.

    If the issue still persist, you need to contact the software vendor and check for the latest updates to make the program run on Windows 10.

    Let us know the results.

    Cortana and launching programs

    Hi there!

    Try to double check if your Spotify App is installed properly. Try to do these steps to find out:

    • Press Windows Key + R button on your keyboard
    • On the text field in the run command type appwiz.cpl
    • You should be able to see Spotify on the list

    If your Spotify is not listed there, it can only mean that your Spotify Software has been placed on your PC by copying the whole client from a External Storage.

    If your Spotify is listed on the appwiz.cpl . Try to restart your PC and check if Cortana can now launch the app instead of searching the Web.
