Windows 10: Programs close after 2-3 seconds

Hello, (sorry if this is in the wrong place it's my first time here...) Currently I am dealing with Windows 10 (20h2 hilariously the about windows tab closes shortly after opening too)randomly closing programs after opening them. It does not happen with everything. Firefox Chrome and discord are fine, as well as steam itself, and battle.net. However, edge, actual games, notepad don't work. (this is not an extensive list) These programs are installed in a range of places, for example google and firefox are on my ssd, the games mostly are on other hard drives. However, edge is also on my ssd. It seems linked to the two hard drives (but also not completely)? but I'm not really sure I have checked for errors, and there are none on either drive. I have tried some of the solutions in a thread on windows' forum but they have not worked. (sfc did do something the first time and successfully rebuilt a file, after running again it says there are no issues present) sfc /scannow DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth Both scan health and restore health said there was nothing wrong. I'm really not sure what to do next, but would rather not reinstall windows if possible... Thanks in advanced for the help. Josh. EDIT: I have just had a look at task manager while opening some of the programs and they are immediately suspended upon opening in task manager. Not sure if this is helpful or not.

Programs close after 2-3 seconds

Hello,
(sorry if this is in the wrong place it's my first time here...)
Currently I am dealing with Windows 10 (20h2 hilariously the about windows tab closes shortly after opening too)randomly closing programs after opening them. It does not happen with everything.

Firefox Chrome and discord are fine, as well as steam itself, and battle.net. However, edge, actual games, notepad don't work. (this is not an extensive list)

These programs are installed in a range of places, for example google and firefox are on my ssd, the games mostly are on other hard drives. However, edge is also on my ssd.

It seems linked to the two hard drives (but also not completely)? but I'm not really sure I have checked for errors, and there are none on either drive.

(sfc did do something the first time and successfully rebuilt a file, after running again it says there are no issues present)
sfc /scannow
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Both scan health and restore health said there was nothing wrong.

I'm really not sure what to do next, but would rather not reinstall windows if possible...


Thanks in advanced for the help.

Windows opens programs on a second monitor, that is not connected

Hi,

We recommend following the steps below to disable the second screen:

1. Close all open programs.

2. Press the Windows Key + P key on your keyboard.

3. Select PC Screen Only.

Feel free to post back for the results.

Regards.
