Can’t Open Exe Files in Windows 10/8/7 FIX

You might encounter a situation where you may not be able to open any .exe files or shortcut link files, i.e., EXE or LNK files. You might instead get a “Open with” dialog box, or it may open the file in another program. This happens if the file association of these file extensions may have got corrupted.
EXE files will not open or not working
A corrupted Registry, caused either by a bad software or malware or any other reason, can lead to your Windows being unable to open a particular file type.
When file associations for executable, batch or COM files are changed, it could cause your executables not to start. For example, when you try to click open a .exe file the programs will not start, or the Open with box might appear, or Windows will say that it cannot open this file and ask what you would like to use to open the program, or it may start a different program.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

![Windows 10 Not Opening Any Programs FIX [Tutorial]](/img/1.gif)
Had this happen suddenly on Win 10. Can't open ANY .exe file, not even regedit. The system was fine one moment, and then the next moment became unable to start ANY of the programs installed, even default programs.
Same thing is happening with my gaming computer
me tooo
create new user bruh
PLEASE HELP ME I AM DESPERATE
Same thing happened to me
Did anyone find a solution for that 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Solved the problem for me after the three steps..I saved the old settings before doing the changes, The video should mention this at the beginning, not the end. Other then that, great work... Thanks so much.. Thumbs up!!!
EXACTLY
thought the same!!!
Exactly...had to reset the whole os after doing what this video said...talking about a backup at the end after doing all these changes is a waste of time
If you get a loop error when trying to open i suggest going to command folder just under the open folder (exefile => shell => open => command) and setting the values for (Default) to "%1" %* and then setting the values for IsolatedCommand to "%1" %*, i hope this helps
Thanks Bro Thankyou Very Very Much It Worked I tried lots of thing but it didn't worked But by ur solution i fixed it Thankyou
ty so much
Ty so much
Thanks Bro Thankyou Very Very Much
YOU ARE A LEGEND!!! That second step made it work again. I was so hesitent about if it would work cause i don't know a lot about programming and typing "%1"%* just didn't make any sense to me and i was like "This probably not gonna work but whatever". And then boom it worked! You are a international tresure that should be protected at al cost.
You're welcome!
Microsoft should be responsible for this mess up of people’s computer
!!!!!***** WATCH OUT!!!!! ***** - NEVER MAKE REGISTRY CHANGES UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED IT PROFESSIONAL!!! - THIS CAN SERIOUSLY BREAK YOUR WINDOWS INSTALLATION
I screwed up
I am also
Lol no.
Can anyone help me? Cause of this video, I cant open any .exe. files/applications. Which is mean, I cant open command prompt, registry editor, etc. How I can bring settings back ? HELP
Me too bro fuck this guy he’s a dick head I cant even reset my pc
did you fix it im also having the same problems
I did this and it’s still saying that my computer can’t open this app, is there a fix?
yes
this has helped me so much, i had accidentally set another application to open for exe files and couldnt open anything unless i ran it in admin mode.
thank you so much
Glad it helped!
After doing this i restart my computer and its not opening anymore. Please help me fix this
Finally and I do mean FINALLY! I truly figured out why my .exe install software files were taking longer than 5 minutes to open even when running as Administrator! ^_^ I decided to try disabling everything diagnostic. Here's what I disabled in "Services".
1. Microsoft Windows Diagnostics Tracking - Associated .dll file found in C:\Windows\System32 Folder = diagtrack.dll (Renamed to @1disable_diagtrack.dll using IObit Unlocker.)
2. Diagnostic Execution Service - Associated .dll file found in C:\Windows\System32 Folder = DiagSvc.dll (Renamed to @1disable_DiagSvc.dll using IObit Unlocker.)
3. Diagnostic Policy Service - Associated .dll file found in C:\Windows\System32 Folder = dps.dll (Renamed to @1disable_dps.dll using IObit Unlocker.)
4. Diagnostic Service Host - Associated .dll file found in C:\Windows\System32 and SysWOW64 Folders = wdi.dll (Renamed to @1disable_wdi.dll using IObit Unlocker.)
5. Diagnostic System Host - Associated file wdi.dll is also connected to this service. (NOW ALL OF MY .EXE SOFTWARE FILES OPEN IN A SPLIT SECOND!) ^_^
(I DISABLED 6 AND 7 BELOW PRIOR TO DISABLING THE DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES LISTED ABOVE FOR GOOD MEASURE AGAINST POSSIBLE MICROSOFT SPYING.)
6. Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel Support - Associated .dll file found in C:\Windows\System32 Folder = wercplsupport.dll (Renamed to @1disable_wercplsupport.dll using IObit Unlocker.)
7. Windows Event Collector - Associated .dll file found in C:\Windows\System32 Folder = wecsvc.dll (Renamed to @1disable_wecsvc.dll using IObit Unlocker.)
(IMPORTANT NOTE: After renaming the .dll files, the descriptions in "Services" will read, "", signaling the service has been completely disabled and cannot be
started until the .dll files are renamed to their original names! TO ANYONE READING THIS POST, I ONLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH COMPUTERS AND KNOW YOUR PC LIKE THE BACK OF YOUR HAND. I DID THIS OUT OF DESPERATION, NECESSITY AND CURIOSITY AND IT PAID OFF!) ^_^ (FYI: I HAVE 77 CURRENTLY DISABLED SERVICES USING MY METHOD, INCLUDING WINDOWS UPDATE AND ALL REMOTE ACCESS SERVICES AND SOFTWARE.)
I love u no jokes

Thank you so much. Short and very informative. Any reasons why it comes to that problem?
You're welcome!
Maybe a virus issue
At 1:50 that value should be "Application" and does not need to be changed, incorrect fix there.
The correct value is "%1" %* and not "%1 ”%*
It goes in shell\open\command as the default not shell\open as you have shown in the video.
Same thing should be the default in shell
unas\command.
You also backed up the registry after making the changes rather than before.
The thought was there but your fix is done in the incorrect spots and with the wrong value and has poor practice of backing up after the change rather than before it.
i cannot run any exe file from usb it says "access denied" same error if I try to extract anything in usb

Had this happen to me on Windows 7. However, I cannot open ANY .exe, not even CMD or regedit. This happened after I tried this trick and now I can't even undo what I did with regedit because I cannot open it. Any one have some suggestions? Thanks
You're welcome!
In my pc, regedit also not open... What i do🥺🥺
Have u the solution ? ?
I done it and now all my programs and file if now convert to PDF exe file and I cannot use any of them. I cannot go back into it to change again. No option to go to. Start do not work to put in regedit to go to run adminstrator. Now nothing is working. It looks like me know I need to format my laptop Not good all and will not have any back ups because everything is wrong.
after we have changed everything, you THEN tell us to make a back up before we start?!?!?!?!! !
Can't even open regedit.exe ;/
It says: "What do you want to open this file with?"
This thing annoying afffff
If you make an updated version of this video, I would love to see and hear it. I am desperate to find an answer to why I can't open an exe file when downloading an app. If you could slow down your presentation (pretend someone is trying to follow your instructions as you speak :-) It would help those of us who are not as familiar with computer as many others. Also, while I'm being picky, your video was blurred and I couldn't see your computer screen well enough to follow you. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Though your video titles reads, "Can’t Open Exe Files in Windows 10/8/7 FIX", I still had a good feeling it would help me out. Just bought my Cybertron CLX gaming desktop with Windows 10 Home (build 17134). I am able to open .exe files but it would take anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes to open prior to watching your video. After you scrolled to the .exe file entry, I noticed an extra entry in your .exe that wasn't in mine. "Content Type" was missing from my .exe entry, so I added it manually it seems to have helped. ^_^ (NEW DISCOVERY!) Just figured out why my installer software programs take awhile to open. Seems during the first time install is the only time it takes awhile to open. My guess is after the installer info is written to the Registry it speeds up the opening of the dialogue box if I close out and reopen the installer a second time. Now that all of my programs are installed and info is written to the Registry, I am going to export a copy of it and use it in the future if I ever need to do a Full PC Reset.
Glad you were able to think outside of the box and adapt the tutorial to suit your needs.

Hello I tried all these method.
I also uninstall and again install.
Now it is also not opening in safe mode.
1. Error:Excel failed to launch in safe mode. Do you want to start repair?
And When I start repairing it again show that message that
2.Excel could not open start last time.
I am getting these two messages one after another.
I spent alomost 4 to 5 days.
Still it is not getting resolved.
Please help
My whole work has got stopped
the problem for me was that the folder names where the file was were too long, so I just renamed the folders and then it worked
I made a game, and was trying to save it as an exe file (coded in python) but when I try to open it, it says the program is incompatible. I ran the troubleshooter and nothing. I performed a virus scan, and I can open other exe files, but not the python one.
Love your video but I'm a little upset that you put "make a backup" at the end of your video. It's partially my fault since I went along as I watched but it would've been nice to hear at the start lol. (What should I do if it all goes wrong now?)
You can always go back in and undo what we did manually, a backup is just marginally easier.
can you help me?
does not open the same: double click thinks about it for a moment in the bar below a ghost space is added and then disappears
Sorry does not solve my problem i have with rpcs3 emulator. I click on it and it load for 2 secs a log file appears and nothing happens. Anyone pls help
Sometimes folder names are way too long in ierarchy(C:\.....) and you just need to shorten them . And voila...
Mine says ex efile why does it look like that when I type it

Very useful video but you should put backup part at front of video not end.
That is a fine point Ed, but I have an expectation that people would watch the 4 minute video before actually doing anything. It is easy enough to undo by just reversing what is shown. But to be honest with you Ed, it is my personal belief that people who can't watch the full 4-minute video before performing a self-repair, they really shouldn't be fixing their own computer.
MDTechVideos so on the shell/open folder the value for the data was always (value not set) or did it change because of the exefile data “%1”%*
MDTechVideos also for some reason I can’t open the dolphin emulator.exe by doing this method. I can still open other .exe files but not dolphin emulator. What am I doing wrong?
So what exactly have you tried so far. This will help me diagnose your issue.
MDTechVideos what I tried is reinstalling the emulator (but didn’t work), then followed this tutorial (which didn’t fix the issue), and tried restarting my pc (again nothing). What even causes this issue to happen?
