  1. Something starts up and then closes immediately before I even see it


    Hello,


    There is an app or something which pops up immediately and closes the instant before I can even check it. I tried running a full scan with malwarebytes but it hasn't seen any issues at all. It gets pretty annoying especially that it is random to w/c i cant tell when or what time will it show but one thing that is certain is that, whenever i start my laptop, it shows, and vanish in a blink.


    i think this has been going for months and i just took a good notice of it when i was on idle.


    Thank you.

    Win-10 Edge closes immediately after opening


    My upgrade from Win-7 to Win-10 seemed to go faultlessly, everything including Edge worked correctly. After a couple of hours though, Edge no longer will open properly, The basic blue screen w/logo comes up for 5 seconds or so and immediately closes. Shortly thereafter the Start button also stopped opening, although by right-clicking I could get the basic function list so could still stumble along.
    The Start button problem was fixed by going back to my first Restore point (created by an automatic upgrade), but the Edge problem persists in spite of trying various fixes from posts dating back to the beta-test period. Obviously this is a problem that has existed from the early beta issues ... and it ain't fixed yet!! Any suggestions appreciated, because I note that Win-10 depends heavily on Web access via Edge.

  3. Stock calculator app opens and closes immediately

    WOW, such service.... such a quick reply. First, no need to apologize, it's not something you did. From searching at the community forum I notice what's happening with Calculator happens with other apps - they open then close immediately.

    Yes, my inquiry was about the Calculator app, the one that's built into / comes with Windows 10. I updated to Windows 10 ver. 2004 the other day. Prior my updating, Calculator worked. Now it opens and all I get to see is a blue dialog and then it closes
    immediately.

    so... your suggestion #1 "**Run the troubleshooter" .... did it, here's a screenshot of what came up

    ... your suggestion #2 "**Reset the Microsoft Store cache" did that and tried Calculator - blue dialog and then it closes immediately

    ... your suggestion #3 "Press Start then search Apps and Features ... Search Calculator app on the list .... Click then select Advanced options .... Click Terminate then Reset" did that and nothing - tried Calculator - blue dialog
    and then it closes immediately.

    .... and here's a video of me trying to run Calculator after completing suggestions #1-3

    I captured a video of trying to run Calculator. I can't attach it here but I'm uploading it to Firefox Send. Because I don't have an account there this link will only last one day or one download Internet for people, not profit

    btw, I also downloaded another calculator app from the app store (see below).... Same thing, it opens and then closes immediately. I did the same with resetting it like in your suggestion #3.

    I'm going to read a book right now so no need to reply until you feel like doing so.

    Thank you very much for the quick response and suggestions. I'm sure this will all be resolved eventually.
