  1. Most Windows programs will not open "XXX Not Working" error on nearly everything


    My computer will not open Edge, most Microsoft Windows programs, Adobe products, Zoom, GoToMeeting and more as of Wednesday of this week. I can't even run any Windows diagnostics because I get the same error. Nor can I Snip images to show the error, because that has the same error.


    I can't uninstall anything because I get the same error.


    I did uninstall the most recent Windows updates but that didn't fix anything.


    I have a diagnostic at the command prompt, and have done a full scan for viruses. Nothing makes a difference.


    Office products work like Word/Powerpoint/Outlook. It feels like a Windows problem but I don't know what to do next.

    :)

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Error: No work available to process

    Hmm. Either it's put out errors and WCG is limiting the work units available, or the project list may not be set to supply other WU when one runs out. (if the problem lies here and not on your end)

    On the options to your left, if you go into Results Status, select the computer from Device Name and then look through results see if either they were returned late, errors or any other kind of issue that would stop the servers supplying WU from that perspective.

    If there are no errors then it's maybe down to your project list. So selecting Device Manager from the left menu and then clicking on the profile assigned to that computer and make sure that it's assigned to receive WU for other projects if they run out.

    At least those steps will rule out problems from the WCG end.

    File system error(-xxx-xxx-xxx) on Win10

    I receive File system error(-xxx-xxx-xxxx) when trying to open .jpg or .png files on my

    Win10 today(I have tried to open many different files and each time this problem shows

    up). However I could open the same files yesterday. Restart does not

    help. I viewed some guitar tabs(.jpg file) and browsed some sites on the Internet last

    night and turned off my computer as usual, nothing abnormal showed up. Is it possible to

    fix this problem? Thank you
