Windows 10: Malwarebytyes refuses to open

Hello

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on why I see the following message in Windows Event Viewer:






At the same time, Malwarebytes will not open when launched so I cannot check its settings for scans or anything else. Yet its icon appears in the System Tray and processes seem to be running in Task Manager.

In the past when this has happened, I have rebooted the PC in question and afterwards everything was alright, but not today!

I am running Windows 10 2004 and Malwarebytes 4.1.2.

Thanks

.

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

 

MP4 refuses to open with WMP

Go to the Control Panel:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
Find that app you installed in the list, select 'Choose defaults for this program' and un-tick .mp4 - that may help...




...alternatively, uninstall your app and install VLC instead. I can confirm that VLC plays .flv files.

 

Windows Live Mail 2012 refuses to send emails, claims they're spam

My wife uses Windows Live Mail 2012 and says it refuses to send emails, claiming they're spam. This is even replying to someone who is in her contacts list. I have run several different virus checks and nothing comes up. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. TIA
