Windows 10: Windows 10 closing certain applications.

About a week or so a game I would play normally, known as Roblox would start having issues and just stop working, this isn't for the microsoft store version but the web launcher version, I have asked and they have told me this is a windows issue. This all started after I had closed my laptop but not fully turned it off, I have done everything I can find on the internet but all to no success, I've restarted my PC countless times, uninstalled and re-installed as well, I've even Factory resetted my PC completely and the issue still persists, I can't find any more solutions online so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. No other game I have does this.

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.

Unable to download certain applications

Hi,

Thank you for getting back with a reply.

This issue may also happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly
follow the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Hope the information helps. Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.
