  1. Windows 10 Won't open Some Exe Files


    So I've had a lot of issues with windows and my computer was slowing down so i attempted to reset it using a disk. Once i had deleted all the data from my boot drive the installation failed and told me the disk was no longer compatible. Because of this i needed to load an older windows 7 ultimate disk and install windows 7 before updating to windows 10 that way. From there i noticed a lot of the older windows 7 sounds and assets still being used once windows 10 was running and my PC was slowing down a lot so i performed an internal pc reset where it will use the existing files and internet connection. This time it was successful and reinstalled a fresh copy of windows 10.


    I install some basic software like : avast, steam, Firefox, spotify, twitch & some games this is when i notice that twitch wont load at all, it will just run in the background for a few minutes then the process ends. Trying to reinstall fails telling me the files are missing so i go to open Firefox and the same thing happens. I restart my computer only to find that now i cant open avast, steam wont load properly and spotify doesn't load at all.


    i looked online and found some tutorials on editing the registry so i followed it only to completed disable all exe files from running. However i noticed that if i chose to run them in admin mode once they couldn't run normally. All exe files would run perfectly meaning that there isn't an issue with the memory its how they're being loaded themselves. Ive reset my pc several times now and i'm still having this same issue of not being able to load various programs.


    Can anyone suggest things i need to be doing? i'm running out of ideas..

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Won't open Some Exe Files

    Exe file slow to open

    A SFX archive isn't going to open right away. The files have to be extracted first. When you are opening it in WinRar, it's not extracting the file, it's just reading it which is why it opens right away.
