    Can't run any .exe files due to a system error


    Anytime I try to run a program like Steam.exe I get a "The Code Execution cannot proceed because C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Kernel.appcore.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. The issue is nothing works. I tried a SFC Scan and it identifies a corrupt file but can't fix it. I even tried to reset the computer and it won't let me reset it. What can I do???

    :)

    Can't run exe file

    Hi,

    Please answer these questions so that we may assist you better.

    • Do you receive any error code or error messages while executing the .exe file? If yes, What is it?
    • Is the issue with Windows programs or other third party programs?
    • Have you made any changes to the computer prior to this issue occurring?
    Ensure that you have administrative privileges to run the .exe file.

    You may right click on a .exe file and select run as an administrator and check.

    Method 1:

    Try to run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for any file corruption. SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

    • Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

      sfc /scannow

    Hope this helps, let us know the status of the issue.
