Program files take time to load on PC and Skype application will crash on Windows 10.

Hello Kimimaru,



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:

• Did you check if you are able to access the program folder when Skype is not launched?
• Did you check if similar issue persists when the PC is booted in
  Safe mode?

You may be facing the above issue due to the incomplete installation, missing components or corrupted application files of Skype on your PC.



Method 1: I suggest you to access the program folder when the Skype application is not launched on the PC.



Method 2: If you are not able to access the program folder, perform Safe mode and clean boot procedures on the PC by following the steps below.



Step 1: I suggest you to boot your PC in
Safe mode by following the steps from the link below and check if the issue is resolved.



Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that starts your computer with limited drivers necessary to run Windows. The words
Safe Mode appear at the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.



Expand the options to boot into Safe Mode:

Reboot the PC to exit from Safe mode.



To know more about Safe mode, following is an article on
Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode) (Applies to Windows 10 also):

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-safe-mode



Step 2: If the issue persists, perform
Clean boot on your PC by following the steps from the link below and check if the issue is resolved.



Putting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.



I suggest you to perform clean boot by following the steps from the link below and check if the issue is resolved.



You can open the system configuration window in Windows 10:



a. Using run command.

• 
  Press Windows Key + R keys on the Keyboard.
  
• 
  Type msconfig.msc and press
  Enter.
  

b. Using Cortana.

• 
  Press Windows icon key on the keyboard and type
  msconfig.
  
• 
  Select the top most search result.
  

Follow the steps from 3 under How to perform a clean boot
for Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 from the link below (The steps for clean boot suggested in the link below for
Windows 8/8.1 is applicable for Windows 10 as well):

Disclaimer: Start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
from the link above.

Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger Start up program when i boot the PC.

Hi WantedStarling,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below information:

1. When did the issue started on the computer?
   
2. Were there any changes happened on the computer prior to this issue?
   
3. Do you have Visual Studio application installed on the computer?
   

This issue is an indication of the startup programs or the debugger settings. I suggest you to follow the steps given below and let us know the results.

Method 1: Disable debugger.

1. Press windows and R key together at the keyboard and type:
   Inetcpl.cpl
2. Go to Advanced tab.
3. Put a checkmark in "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" and "Disable Script Debugging (Others)".
   
4. Click on Apply and OK. Restart the computer and check if the issue is fixed. Otherwise go to Method 2.

Method 2:
Launch PC in Safe mode and clean boot.

Please refer this Safe
mode article and start the PC in safe mode.
After logging into safe mode, start the PC in clean boot. Follow the Microsoft article on
How to perform a clean boot in Windows.In
the Startup tab of msconfig take a look at which are the unusual programs running or programs related to Visual Studio. Let us know if the issue persist in clean boot too.

Note:
A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Your computer may temporarily
lose some functionality while in a clean boot environment, however that functionality will return when you
reset the computer to start normally after you have finished your troubleshooting.

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can. We await your response.

Hope it helps.
