Windows 10: start.exe does not execute

I have two comparable PC desktops. W10 64 bit. I tried to install the drivers of a new printer.
Installation on PC1 was without any problem. Installation on PC2 was impossible. The installation CD did not even turn on PC2. The downloaded drivers did not give any response. It appeared that to start driver installation, a start.exe file should be executed. Double clicking of this file on PC2 does not give any response, nothing happens, and an error message is not given.
Run as administrator does not help, and other exe files are executed normally.
What might be the problem with a start.exe file on PC2?

some .exe files hang


In the last 48 hours, some .exe files do not execute. If started from explorer, explorer hangs. No error messages. These files run on another Win 10 machine. Nothing obvious in the event viewer. I note that *.exe file cannot be deleted when the system is in this state. I must reboot to regain access to the .exe file. sfc /scannnow shows no errors.

Any suggestions?

 

No exe can be executed


Hello. I tried to execute an exe file created by the compilation of code in MS Visual studio 2015 but it doesn't work. Every time i try to execute it stucks. Specifically in command prompt, Ctrl+C doesn't work. Then I tried to compile the code in other apps. But the executable does't work with them either. What could be the problem?

 

How to open a .exe file

Hi,

An EXE file (also known as executable file) contains an executable program for Windows. EXE is short for "executable," and it is the standard file extension used by Windows programs.

For us to better assist you with this, we'd like to know the following:

• Were you getting an error when opening a .exe file?
  
• Was it compressed (zipped)?
  

Usually, you can just double left-click the .exe file (if not compressed) to open it. However, if it's compressed, you need to install a 3rd party software to extract it.

We're looking looking forward to your reply.
