  1. Update.exe -This application could not be started


    Two days ago when I started up my Desktop PC I tried to launch Discord an application for talking to people online, however, I received this message.

    Update.exe -This application could not be started c062957d-446f-4a34-b23c-441e0f38650b?upload=true.png


    After reading the error message over I clicked yes and downloaded the .NET Framework file. However, once I tried the startup I got this error message.


    Update.exe -This application could not be started 6804adbe-fe98-4952-ae5d-37bfe9bec7b7?upload=true.png


    At this point, I'm super confused and I have no clue what's wrong. If I have the file installed already why am I receiving these error messages preventing me from using different applications? It would be a tremendous help if someone shed some insight on what's doing on and how to fix it.

    :)

    Impossible to starts some exe files!


    hello everyone,

    I need help as I have tried all of what i have found in this and other forums, whitout any success.
    Since a week icant start some exe files and i dont know why only some!
    i have appleied what was described in Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials ,
    but no better results.
    I have scanned my laptop for virus or malwares, and its clean.
    for example i want start Acronis, then win10 say cant find the file even so i try to start it directly from the exe file!
    same if i want to start ACDSee and some others applications.

    For others files its perfectly ok, like AVG PCtune; Malwarebytes, Microsoft Office and so many others.

    I have also tried to install again the sotware which doesnt start but it is the same.

    Some people suggested that possibly a dll have been modified, but how to find out?
    I hope someone will be able to help me as my next step would be to fully reinstall windows and all applications.

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Regards

  4. Update.exe -This application could not be started

    BtAssist1.exe Application Error- the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

    Hi Bonnie,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about connect the Bluetooth device on your device. We will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

    • When exactly you get the above error message?
    • What exactly happens when you try to connect the Bluetooth device?
    • Were you able to detect the Bluetooth device in Device Manager?

    This issue might have occurred if:

    • There is a previous installation of the same application on the machine and you try to install a newer version.
    • There are registry corruptions related to the application during upgrade.

    Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan, System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a
    Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

    Refer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Step 2: I suggest you to run Microsoft Safety Scanner
    which help to remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner

    Note: Data or files which are infected by malware might be beyond cleaning and have to be deleted entirely to maintain the integrity of your system, which means there might be a potential for data loss.

    Step 3: If your Bluetooth device cannot be enabled or is missing from Settings, it is possible that your drivers are misconfigured.

    I suggest you to refer to the below post replied by
    Rajith R
    on August 29, 2015 and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    My Bluetooth cannot be enabled or
    is missing


    Hope it helps. Try the and get back to us with an updated status of this issue and required information to assist you further accordingly.
