    When I was working yesterday in some old Excel files, all of a sudden I started getting this error... I cannot access any files excel, word, pdf and it won't let me open downloads to update Windows, etc. I have searched the forums and tried several different things sfc /scannow,
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, clean boot, etc. I don't have the installation media, I believe I updated to Windows 10 online... I am not sure what to do, I am not a computer expert by any stretch of the imagination and I need help accessing my files.

    :)

    Windows 10 - The application has failed to start

    Hi David,

    It is possible that you received the error message The application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace. exe tool for more detail due
    to wrong configuration settings or software conflicts. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Which build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far aside from uninstalling then reinstalling the app?

    Any response will be highly appreciated.

  3. The application has failed to start because the side by side configuration is incorrect Windows 10

    Avast Premier will not load and they say that the recent windows 10 update has caused the problem. Windows settings need adjustment and I am 86 years old and need assistance in resetting these. Please make it SIMPLE and step by step.
