My explorer crashes if I start an application. A second later it restarts. So if I try to open taskmgr it crashes and taskmgr doesn't start. But I can run commands via path box (where you can see the path of the current folder). But I can't run anything there as admin. But I can run these "Metro Apps" What I already did:

  • Reset my PC without erasing my data
  • Fully reset my PC with a backup on my external hdd

In the setup of my system I used my same Microsoft Account. But the problem is there again.

//Update I see that my command line also doesnt start anything. And in the PC Settings (Windows 10 Settings) crashes if I try to create a new local account Ctrl + Alt + Del then TaskManager and Ctrl + Shift + Esc dont work

//UPDATE 2 Via tasklist /FI "STATUS eq UNKNOWN" I see all programs I tried to start until now

Sound like file corruption. Follow these recommendations. If you have difficulties using these tools try boot machine in safe mode.

I would check your HD to ensure there are no bad blocks.

  1. Open a command prompt
  2. type chkdsk c: /f /r
  3. Answer yes at the prompt to schedule scan at next boot.
  4. Reboot machine at let it perform scan

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  1. Start a Command Prompt
  2. Type sfc /scannow

  • @Scrumplex - If you are not an administrator on this machine this cannot be solved. You need to get an your local network administrator to help you.

  • I am in the Administrator Group but I cant elevate anything to admin. If I try the program I try to elevate crashes. (Process state gets suspended)

  • So now I'm doing the chkdsk via Repair Disk. After that I will try sfc.
