  1. Applications Won't Open


    I am trying to open a specific application in File Explorer, but every time I try it does the blue spinny wheel thing and just cancels. No error code, no pop-ups, it's just that after the spinny thing goes away nothing happens. I've restarted my PC multiple times and have tried to look for solutions but I got nothing. I would love it if someone helps me out on this, thanks. :

    :)
