    All the EXE files are not working


    Can someone help me? I wanted to open a file by clicking the "Open with" option as an alternative to open it. As I chose WinRAR to open that certain file, I forgot to untoggle/untick the "Always use this program to open this type of files or whatever it said" box. Now all the EXE files have turned into a WinRAR file. I can't use a single method to fix this problem. Even the Command Prompt, Task Manager, every single EXE in my laptop has turned into a WinRAR file and are now unavailable for use. I can't even reset my PC. I think it's a registry problem. I really need help.

    :)

    no .exe files work on my windows 10 PC

    Hi,

    Since your .exe files are not working, we suggest that you run the System File Checker (SFC) tool. System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. You may follow the
    steps provided
    here
    .

    Regards.
