Windows 10: Unresponsive applications after System Restore

Good day!

I did a system restore last February 3 with my Acer Nitro 5 Model AN515-43-R6DJ because a verified third party application downloaded from a secure source failed to launch after the said application's update failed midway.

After reinstalling the third-party app, it still could not launch. I decided to do a system restore so it could go back to its pre-update form.

The system restore seemed to be successful. The said third-party app was reinstalled and launched successfully. However, two other third-party applications specifically CLIP STUDIO Paint and Paint Tool SAI; both are drawing applications installed from a secure source were affected after the System Restore despite not being present in the warning, nor were they updated/installed recently.


Even after reinstallation, both are either 1 unresponsive when launched, and 2 unable to launch, despite seen as running fine in the Task Manager. Below is an example of 1 occuring.





I ran the System File Checker tool and the Deployment Image Servicing and Management DISM tool prior to running the System File Checker. The results were the following:


Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.




After rebooting the laptop and reinstalling the unresponsive third-party applications, no significant changes were evident and the problem still reoccurs.

What solutions can I do to address this problem?

Thank you very much.
