  1. %appdata% not opening in run


    Hi, every time I open run and type %appdata%, it usually opens "C:/user/programdata/roaming" but ever since I installed and uninstalled nox player, it has been acting strange. Not it asks me "How do you want to open this file?", which shouldn't be happening. I opened it on notepad and it says this;

    Please help me remove this. I have already uninstalled nox player but it seems it has affected the system. I'm aware that to access programdata right now via Run, I'd have to include a double quotation mark " at the beginning and end of the command %appdata%. However, can you help me revert this back to normal? I'm worried that despite uninstalling and deleting nox player, it still shows up.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    :)

    AppData Roaming Can't Open

    Hi Charles,



    The above issue might occur due to corrupted/missing system files and folder or if the user profile is corrupted on the computer.



    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

    • Since when are you facing the above issue? Did you make any recent system changes?
    • Do you get any error code/error message on trying to access AppData/Roaming on the computer?


    Method 1: Scan
    the computer for the presence of virus/malware by running the antivirus security software. Run the antivirus security software twice to detect and confirm the presence of malware/virus on your PC. Check for the status of the scan to view the presence
    of virus/malware.



    Method 2:
    Run SFC scan and DISM scan by following the steps below and check if the issue is caused due to any of the missing or corrupted system files and folders on the computer.



    SFC scan is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a
    Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected. For example, some Windows functions may not work, or Windows may crash.



    Windows corruption errors may prevent Windows updates and service packs from installing. For example, an update might not install if a system file is damaged. The
    DISM scan or System Update Readiness tool may help you to fix some Windows corruption errors.



    Step 1: Open an Administrator command prompt
    window by



    • Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
      Command Prompt (Admin) option.
    • Click on Yes and continue. Provide administrator password if prompted.
    • Check if it says Administrator: Command Prompt at the top of the command prompt window.


    Step 2: Type the following commands in the
    CMD Prompt:



    Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth


    Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    sfc /scannow



    Step 3: Close the command window and check if the issue is resolved.



    Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of not able to open AppData/Roaming on the computer in the same post for further assistance.
    Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
