    Programs keep closing randomly


    I'm having a problem where opening a program causes a bunch of other programs to close. For example, if I have my anti-virus open and try to open steam, steam opens but the AV closes. When I check task manager, the AV is still open in the background, and when I reopen the AV steam closes.
    Is there a fix for this?

    :)

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Windows Programs Keep Randomly Closing?

    For some unknown reason, my programs keep closing randomly? I know these programs have randomly closed: Atom, Discord, Steam, Slack, Notepad++, SourceTree, and DevStax. Atom seems to close the most so I have to wonder if it's possibly causing other programs to crash? Or perhaps it was that Windows Media Update thingy?

    I found some other people online that have issues with Atom and a 3rd party package Go-Plus, but no one has provided a solution and Atom gives me no useful logs. I'd just close Atom and see if I get any crashes but I work 8-12hrs/day in Atom so it's not very feasible because of that and the fact that I cannot reproduce it on command.

    Is there a way to try and detect what is causing my programs to close randomly? I ran System File Checker and File Signature Verification and they both came back clean. Any other diagnostic tools I should be looking at? Thanks.

    System Specs:
    OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home
    Version: 10.0.15063 Build 15063
    System Type: x64
    Processor: i7-4770
    Ram: 16GB
