Thanks - general advice- probably method (5). However you mention it has a long file name- could it be you've exceeded Windows' path length limit? How long (in characters) is the total path (no. of characters from C: to exe inclusive)?

That could be it, but I did rename it and two days ago it was working just fine. And other files do it as well (With small name). Thas why im so confused.
We could possibly chat on instagram or something like that and then you can unadd me if you want. I just want to solve this problem.
Yes i have checked every one of them on my own and now to be sure. Still the same single click windows could not.... and right click run as admin the file may have a virus or unwanted software. (also if i scan with some antivirus programms it still found nothing).
- indicates it's not a constant permissions error.Also at Wednesday this occured, and yesterday it let me open files just fine until today again.
Could this relate to Defender definition updates? (You can see the dates these were installed in Update History).
Does this apply to all exe's in the same folder tree or only some?
@ ffotis4
May I make a 'friendly' suggestion ?
I think if you could add as much information as possible about your computer system. i.e. Windows version, brand, amount of ram etc. it would help the experts here help you to resolve your problem. There are some 'very clever' guys (and gals) on the forum who can help you.
The information you have provided under 'My computer' is minimal to say the least.
Please don't take offence at my suggestion....only trying to help.

Please run a couple of checks on your disk given the apparently variable behaviour you are seeing:
. First check your disk(s):
Download and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) (includes SSDs)
(This gives exceptionally good text comments)
Post a screenshot of its GUI using the Insert Image icon above your post.
If all disks are reported as good, continue.
2. Now check your file system:
From an admin command or powershell prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
Read Chkdsk Log in Event Viewer in Windows 10 | Tutorials
or

and post the results
= 'If you have x programs installed with a similar path (Program Files), do they all show the same behaviour, or are there some that don't'?Does this apply to all exe's in the same folder tree or only some?
Thanks for asking Milton, yes i can post my pc.
