    Exe file problem

    Hi Het1110,

    Good day! I am Independent Advisor Louie S.. and a Microsoft/Windows user just like you. I am glad to be able to provide assistance for you today.

    I know how it can be really frustrating having this issue, I'll try my best to help you. try to check the step-by-step solution below and see if it works:

    1. Change your registry

    1.1. Press Windows Key + X to open Win + X menu and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.

    https://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/upload...

    1.2. When Command Prompt starts, simply enter regedit and press Enter.

    1.3. Registry Editor will now open.

    >In the left pane go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.exe.

    1.4. In the right pane, double click (Default) key and set Data value to exefile.

    https://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/upload...

    1.5. Now go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTexefileshellopencommand key in left pane.

    1.6. In the right pane select (Default), double click it and set its Value data to “%1” %*

    https://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/upload...

    1.7. After doing that, restart your computer and check if the problem is resolved.

    Not being able to open .exe files can be a big problem, but you should be able to fix it simply by changing your registry. For some unknown reason, the values in your registry can be changed from the default and that can prevent .exe files from opening.

    Some users reported that this solution only works if you apply it in Safe Mode, and to enter Safe Mode you need to do the following:

    1. Hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click the Restart button. Alternatively, you can restart your PC few times during the boot to start Automatic Repair.

    https://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/upload...

    2. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup settings and click on Restart button.

    3. When your computer restarts, a list of options will appear. Select any version of Safe Mode by pressing the appropriate key.

    4. When Safe Mode starts, repeat the steps from above.

    Hope it helps. Let me know if you need anything else!

    Sincerely,

    Louie S.
