Windows 10: Explorer.exe not running on login, unable to launch manually.

- Blackscreen on bootup, explorer.exe is not running- This has happened a couple times before on this machine, starting about a year ago, which was about a year after we got it.- Microsoft surface pro 9, default install of windows 11, I've since made some changes, but nothing that should cause this, and definitely nothing recently as it's mostly been used by someone who just uses it for work and light gaming.- This is probably the third time it's happened, usually it just persists until I restart it enough trying to figure out what's going on that it fixes itself after a few days. -- not ideal

3 locked instances .exe but Unable to run .exe file


Hi everyone,

I've got this serious problem recently.

I can't run some .exe file. This problem happens a month ago, but now that file is able to run now, and now it got other .exe file can't run. Everytime I keep launch the .exe application file, the cursor just keep 'run in background' as I check on Task Manager, there's no application I launch. Then I tried to restart my PC, and now it got 3 instances of the .exe file I tried to run. Three processes only took 50 kb memory (This app usually normal and took 1GB memory). I tried to end the process, and it just wont let me end it and then I tried to force unlock the file, it says that svchost.exe -k netsvcs and system keep locking the file, I force unlock them, and no luck.

I can launch this app months ago, and just can't launch it today, but other app that can't launch a month ago, can be launched today. It's like
A month ago:
- some_game_i_usually_play.exe | had the same thing, 3 instance and can't be unlocked.
- working_software.exe | works perfectly
Now:
- some_game_i_usually_play.exe | works perfectly
- working_software.exe | had the same thing, 3 instance and can't be unlocked.

Please help, I really need to use my app right now

Thanks for the help

EDIT : Run as administrator ? Tried no luck. Just for your information, this app always runs perfectly, but not today.

EDIT : Screenshot



Tried to launch thea.exe, waiting for hours nothing happens, cursor keep showing 'run in background'. process didn't show on Task Manager



Restart computer and see that it had multiple instances thea.exe with low memory consumption (this app consume huge memory), and can't be terminated or unlock process.

 

Automatic login to Outlook on launching Internet Explorer browser on Windows 10.

Hello Rahill,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• 
  Are you facing the login to Outlook on launching the browser issue since upgrade?
  
• 
  Have you enabled Start with tabs from the last session option from
  Internet explorer settings?
  

Let me confirm that the URL link http://www.msn.com/?pc=EUPP_ is safe and a valid MSN link. The extension
part of the URL is automatically added as part of site redirection and nothing more.
Since the extension is safe and genuine to use, it is not necessary to remove the extension.



If the issue to login to Outlook on launching the browser is recent, I suggest you to change the
Internet Explorer settings by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• 
  Open Internet Explorer web browser and press
  Alt + X keys on the keyboard to open the browser settings.
  
• 
  Select Internet Options from the menu.
  
• 
  From the window, un-check Start with tabs from the last session under
  Startup option.
  
• 
  Click on Apply and OK.
  
• 
  Close and open the browser to check if the changes are effective.
