Exes stop executing after a while

But I don't see the OP saying anything about the wrong program being invoked - just that nothing was invoked. I know that my problem (which may be nothing like the OP's problem) doesn't involve a wrong program; just that the correct program does not start until after a very long delay (20-30 minutes). And I usually do a forced reboot rather than wait. (A shutdown request is also delayed.)

I have giving you examples about what happens when executable file launch or not launch at all this registry file can be used without causing any problems.

Have uninstall all antivirus programs to see issue resolves?

An update, it looks my problem is resolved. As per my earlier post, the problem was due to an app "Spyhunter". I wrote to them, and they responded back by asking me to switch off a feature of that app called "System Guard". After doing this problem did not reoccur. I am ofcourse writing to them to fix this issue, since by switching off of this feature, I am losing the functionality of blocking malicious processes from executing on my laptop.

I think we can consider this problem to be resolved. However, I am not marking this as resolved since there are other members struggling with the same problem and maybe this thread can continue and help others.

Once again a big thanks to all who helped me get my brain working and thinking....to arrive at the cause of the problem
