  1. Apps will not start except web browsers


    I have Windows 10 x64. All of my apps fail to start when I click on them. Web browsers seem to work as they should. I tried System Restore to go back to a restore point 2 days previous. No luck. I've tried updating, but the update fails every time with error 0x8007025d. I thought Norton might be stopping the update, so I turned Norton off. Still no luck. I tried starting Windows in a Safe mode. No luck.


    Any idea or suggestions

    :)
