Applications not opening
Applications not opening
(15-06-2020, 12:49 PM)ham_samm Good day,
Please my applications on my windows OS just stop opening. It happened a week ago i tried my effort but i just had to reset the PC, now it happened this morning. Here are screenshots of the error it gave when i opened some apps.
Ever since i reset the pc, it has been ok and then i noticed in the process of installing a game this morning it started this whole issue again. I have no idea if it was coincidence.
Kindly find attachment below
ERROR PC shows me opening task manager, device manager, chrome etc
ERROR PC1 show me trying to open WORD 2016

something seems to be tampering with your OS. i hope you have an antivirus program, you should do a full scan
try this fixes by checking and modifying registry editor
i.e click start menu and type registry editor
for the lnk files, navigate to
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile
then create a new "string" value named "IsShortcut" OR if it doesn't work, goto settings > apps then reset all microsoft apps including store
for the exe files such as ms word, navigate to
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe
confirm that the "default string value" reads exefile, if not then modify it and type exefile
then navigate to
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile
confirm that the "default string value" reads Application, if not then modify it and type Application
then navigate to
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
confirm that the "default string value" reads "%1" %*, if not then modify it and type "%1" %*
for task manager, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe
then delete debugger OR backup taskmgr.exe then delete the entire directory
NOTE
you should always backup the registry items you are about to modify before modifying them
you need to restart your pc after making the changes
if you have a second pc there, you could look through the registry paths i indicated above and try to mirror the contents to your pc's registry

I couldn't find "lnkfile" and "taskmgr.exe" in their respective subdirectories.
