Windows 10: Can't open .exe files (all .exe files) in any USB

Yup, you read that right. I really hate this since I need to install Windows (32-bit) via a thumb drive.

Executive files inside the original hard drive does not affect this.

All of the .exe files don't work (other type of files still work). But I can still access Properties. By the way, on the same computer (64-bit), it read and ran the files like a champion. I'm 100% sure that the error is in my OS. It worked when copy to a hard drive but didn't work when copy from a hard drive. Just help me. 2 weeks without any help. By the way ALL USB drives have been affected. One more thing: I always update my computer. Reset my PC? Worked before I signed in.

Exe file slow to open

A SFX archive isn't going to open right away. The files have to be extracted first. When you are opening it in WinRar, it's not extracting the file, it's just reading it which is why it opens right away.

 

Exe file slow to open

MSE doesn't slow down EXE files so turning it off would make no difference AND its not worth the risk. What exe is he even trying to run?

 

Exe file slow to open

Possible... I had Kaspersky and ZoneAlarm, both, on different machines & times, misbehavin' and had to re-install them to set them right.
Even after cleaning them out and re-setting them; they would still bog the file access times down and cause Windows Explorer (not ie) to be slow on opening and accessing, until re-installed.

If he turns off real-time detection it will not make any difference, as he has already been opening the file... he would/should have gotten an alert or warning if there were a problem with the file he is testing with.

Probably not; but, how much ram?
What version of Windows?
Where is you swap file located? What size?
How full are your drives?
What processor?
Have you got the latest firmware for your SSD?
Are your drivers up to date?
Is your MB bios current?

Is the file an installation file, video file, etc? Does it use compression?

You need to goto User CP and put your system info there and then check the box to show the specs. The info will go a long way in helping some to diagnose your possible problem(s).
