    Windows 8 won’t run application

    Locked

    by annem21 ·

    Tags: 

    Several times I’ve gotten the message “this app can’t run on your PC” when trying to use downloaded programs like ad-blockers and music downloads on my Windows 8.1 tablet. Is there something in settings or a firewall that I can (selectively) disable to allow these apps to run? I suspect it is just Microsoft fascism. The music site I was using was e-music.com, which offers different content than the xbox music app that came with the device. I’ve used it on my xp computer, but wanted to switch to the newer one.

      I advise you to reinstall windows, because in many settings update may break the system. Of course this is not the solution to reinstall every time, but the example here – http://www.casestudywriter.org/ guy just disabled updates, and do not worry.

      Try this

      by johnsmith26 ·

      In reply to Windows 8 won’t run application

      This happened to me twice. This can happen when coming out of sleep. Do you continue to have this issue after shutting it down with the power button and booting back into Windows? (If “yes,” then you can attempt to boot into Safe Mode. Once there, try running Ccleaner ─ a free download if you don’t already have it ─ and the command line: sfc /scannow.

      In reply to Windows 8 won’t run application

      Then try opening the start menu and going to run. Type C:\

      Once that is open go ahead and go to the program files folder.

      Try opening up various .exe files. If they are still broken then it sounds like the reg edit was for explorer. Anyway do a system restore by going to start>accessories> system tools> system restore. Follow the steps.
