Windows 10: XP .exe applications not loading on Windows 10

I had to run HP Recovery on my PC.


Before I ran Recovery, I had some important executable applications that ran just fine on Windows 10.


Now I am trying to re-load those programs on my device. Nothing happens when I try to run the .exe. I ran the Windows troubleshooter which shows me the app is designed for XP Service Pack 3 which I already knew. It detected the issue XP compatibility. I clicked on Fix the compatibility issue. I ran the "Test Troubleshooter" and then it returns Incompatibility Problem Fixed. I closed the troubleshooter and then tried to run the exe.


Nothing happens just like before I ran troubleshooter. What I am missing? What am I doing wrong? These apps worked just fine on Windows 10 before I recovery.

Cant load any software or application.

Hi,

I was facing an issue to load any .exe files. every time I tried loading one, it would show *******.exe application error.

So I went online searching for solutions and saw some video on youtube and changed regedit entries as per the steps shown and then restarted the computer.

Now i cant load application or command prompt or regedit.

it asks me to choose the program i want to use to launch any kind of .exe files.

I am using windows 10.

HELP!

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
