Program runs in background but not launching. Used to work a week ago.

Welcome to the TenForums @black

Could I suggest you re-install in compatibility mode.

I would also suggest that after installing you completely shutdown Windows by holding shift key down and clicking shutdown. This bypasses Windows 10 Fast Start up and you get a fresh start of Windows.

If your software was developed and last maintained for XP this will happen more and more. Windows and all OS are evolving for functionality and security reasons. Really old software very well will run but the vendor will be the first to say it is not supported, meaning we won't fix.

Hopefully compatibility install will give it new life.

You could also try a system restore to say a week ago. You have a handle on what you installed, could you check Windows update history and see what Windows has installed. You can influence Windows software updates and you can stop driver updates.

 

PC is Suffering Unexpected Shutdowns

So its been almost two weeks since i last posted and since my PC has shutdown unexpectedly... My original plan was to play around with the RAM to see if that was the issue but after a few days of no shutdowns i figured i would see if the CMOS clear and repairing the corrupt OS had fixed the issue. As i already said its been almost 2 weeks since i first made theses changes and i was fairly certain it had fixed the issue...Unfortunately my PC did shutdown unexpectedly today while i was at work. It seems pretty ridiculous to me that the PC could be on for almost 2 weeks straight and have no issues then just randomly shutdown...I ran the SFC scan to make sure nothing had gone wrong with the OS and it reported no issues. My next step i guess would be to try and eliminate the RAM as the issue but honestly i find i very hard to believe that's the issue after the PC was on for 2 weeks. Surely if this was a hardware issue i would have more regular shutdowns...or at least shutdown while im actually using the PC...What do you guys think?

 

My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix
