    Ok i did the defender scan and it removed a trojan, so thanks for that. But i still cant get the file open box to appear. Also it keeps failing when trying to update skype. Maybe a full reinstall is needed.

    Considering that you had a trojan virus, I would always recommend the scorched Earth approach and do a clean install.

    Otherwise, a repair install should also fix it without losing anything though.
