    Programs not launching


    Hi all,

    Today I've been setting up my new rig and I've been hitting an issue, some programs will not launch.
    The three main programs I've been having issues with are:
    -Paint, won't start no matter what I do
    -Geforce Experience, starts the launcher but wont open the main program
    -League of Legends, Launcher works but trying to start the game usually wont work.

    I've tried various compatibility modes and administrator modes with these and yet nothing, not even an error.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    What kind of install did you use for setting up the new rig?

    The rig I picked up prebuilt from PC Case Gear who've basically put it together, installed windows 10 x64 and installed a few of the base software (CorsairLINK, Nahimic). I've then upgraded it from Win 10 home to pro.

    Hi harvz,

    Did you by chance try launching those program via the .exe files within the respective Programs Folder, or trying launching it through a command line? You can try in through your Command Prompt or though the Run command. I'm just wondering if this might be a shortcut issue.

    You can re-test paint using the following:

    With the Command Prompt, paste: %windir%\system32\mspaint.exe
    With Run, paste: mspaint.exe

    Thanks for your reply. I haven't really got that option with most of them as they won't start without their launcher starting them.
    One thing I've tried that works is a new user on the computer, which seems to have no issue (I've only tried it for a few hours so far), so it looks like it may have something to do with that user account.

    EDIT: The solution I mentioned prior to this edit didn't ultimately solve the problem, I've reformatted the drive and will reply to the thread if issues persist.
