Not running new .exe or .msi files

thank you, TO for your suggestions, but these didn't help unfortunately.

"winmgmt /verifyrepository" came back as consistent and the Catroot2 has been moved to Catroot2.old, restarted and still the same problem.
what else could I try please?

regards
D

- - - Updated - - -

Just a bit more info about what I noticed....

- I can run .exe files as long as these are part of installed applications, like Word, Excel and other applications that have been installed for a long time. Could it be that if I move the .exe files to the folder where the other installed .exe are these would also run? I will try that.

- - - Updated - - -

OK..... so, just tried this...

went into C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity and double clicked on "audacity.exe" without any hesitations this applications started.
I pasted another, just downloaded, application (.exe) into that same Audacity folder and it certainly didn't do anything after double clicking on it. It's like there has been a white list created with all application names that were installed up to a certain date/time and anything that isn't part of that list cannot be run (should be ignored)???? Does this even exist and if this is a possibility how could I figure it out? IT management says that they have certainly not installed anything like that.

 

BtAssist1.exe Application Error- the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

Hi Bonnie,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand your concern about connect the Bluetooth device on your device. We will help you with this issue.

Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

• When exactly you get the above error message?
• What exactly happens when you try to connect the Bluetooth device?
• Were you able to detect the Bluetooth device in Device Manager?

This issue might have occurred if:

• There is a previous installation of the same application on the machine and you try to install a newer version.
• There are registry corruptions related to the application during upgrade.

Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan, System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a
Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

Refer: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

Step 2: I suggest you to run Microsoft Safety Scanner
which help to remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

Microsoft Safety Scanner

Note: Data or files which are infected by malware might be beyond cleaning and have to be deleted entirely to maintain the integrity of your system, which means there might be a potential for data loss.

Step 3: If your Bluetooth device cannot be enabled or is missing from Settings, it is possible that your drivers are misconfigured.

I suggest you to refer to the below post replied by
