Run Dialog Box dysfunctional (Invisible text and doesn't always work)
First things first, hey everyone! I'm a complete noobie to forums altogether, and usually i just spend time on them reading other ppls problems/solutions but i've never actually made a post myself (cause i guess i never really needed to ?), since most of them have already been solved by someone somewhere.
Sadly, i looked everywhere for a solution to my current problem but to no avail.
I don't know if i should proceed as they do in stack exchange (define the problem and then what i've personally tried to do ? but i guess that could be a good start).
Problem : The run dialog box doesn't display the text and icon usually present in it. Moreover, by opening multiple run dialogs, there's an inconsistancy where some of them will all run with administrator privileges by default; while others will only have the check box to let you choose if you want to or not [can be seen on the following screenshot by the red arrow]. And usually, for the latter, if it's not ticked the run dialog would just keep spawning again and again until I run it as administrator. Here's the screenshot to help describe most of my problems with the Run command :
Things i've tried (in order) :
- Reinstalling windows (the new default win10 option that lets you reinstall windows while keeping your personal files) [since i'm lazy i thought that just afk reinstalling windows before trying anything else might solve the issue. I couldn't be so wrong].
- Reinstalling windows, but this time removing all my personal files.
And after each of these reinstallations, the problem wasn't there initially but eventually surfaces again while i was reinstalling my personal programs (hence one of the applications i have might be causing this ? I have no clue how to verify that)
- I tried using the command
but nothing came upCode:sfc /scannow- Eventually since sfc wasn't working I went for the new windows DISM tool for help :
, and again to no avail.Code:DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth- After a while, i thought that maybe task manager uses the same code as the run command (when we go to File > Run New Task) but sadly when i tried checking the command lines executed by each i found only the one used by the run dialog box and couldn't for the taskmgr's one (maybe cause i'm still really bad at using Sysinternals' Process Explorer >..<)
The default run command is :(so maybe i have an issue with the shell32.dll ?)Code:rundll32.exe shell32.dll,#61
Here's a screenshot of the Taskmgr's "Run New Task" dialog in case they really are related :
Overall, I think i tried everything i could using my own knowledge (which is already quite limited) and I hope that some of you have more technical expertise to be able to figure out what the hell is wrong with this stupid dialog box >.>.
If you managed to read this far, thank you for taking some of your personal time to go out of your way to help an ignorant user such as myself. I appreciate it.
