Windows 10: "My computer" says "working on it" for a few seconds, then closes

I have a strange problem when I click on my computer icon. It says "working on it", the blue circle spins for a few seconds, then it closes. I haven't seen a problem with anything else e.g. File Explorer and programs.I've done a SFC and a Safety Scanner quick scan, and they were both OK.I've rebooted my computer and also shut all of the way down, but that didn't fix the problem either.What could fix the problem?

:)

 

Any Program Starts and then 10 seconds later Closes. Why?

My system is 64 Bit Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19043 with Update 21H1 My program was working. I saved a copy of my work then later came back to continue working. The program would start then 10 seconds later would close. My programs including Teamspeak, Mobile Plans, Zoom, Windows Administrative Tools, Notepad and many 3rd party programs now all do the same thing. The only programs that will continue to work are MS Office, File Explorer, Task Manager and MS Edge. I am able to open JPG files in File Explorer. If I go into Settings and go to Update & Security, Recovery, Reset This Computer, the routine will open but then close 5 - 10 seconds later. I can go to Control Panel, select uninstall a program and the routine will start and then close. I cannot install a program through Control Panel nor can I run Restore.exe. The programs or routines start and the close without achieving a result. As I have indicated the computer was working well, it had not been turned off and then when I came back to do more work the above problems occurred. Can anybody suggest the next step other than re-formatting the drive?

 

"Update & security" tab on Settings flashes for a second, then closes.

Hi Hirsty,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand the inconvenience you are facing currently. Let me help you in resolving the issue.



I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• Do you get any error message or error code on the screen?
• If yes, what exactly is the error message?

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Hope the information helps. Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

CMD and PowerShell Closing after a couple of seconds, CMD and Powershell closing.

My Laptop is fine i didnt download any viruses, Didnt mess with system files nor modify it. After a normal restart, A message that pops up for half a second saying "This app wont work on this computer" Or something like that (The messages appears and disappears too fast its hard to make out the text) and the cmd icon appears for a split second in the taskbar. I searched for fixes and i got told to use the sfc /scannow command to scan for possibly corrupted or missing files.

I opened CMD and ran the command but it just closes after a few seconds. I tried not inputing any commands and it still did. I tried running it on Powershell and turns out it also closes. I recorded a video of me doing it.

And I have followed several steps to fix my laptop, One of them is like :

1. Follow the instructions on this site You Can See, the instructions I've followed ,Like :

• download and install the tool called Autoruns.
  
• Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft.
  

But, after I followed this, there is still no change on my laptop.

And how can i recover the command processor folder and does that help with my with cmd problem? If not, How can i fix my cmd?
