Not a single application will open, anyone know why?

I just turned on my laptop one day after not having wifi for a long time and then I clicked on Firefox and it wouldn't open, a minecraft won't open, only folders open. I absolutely cannot do anything! Anyone know what's going on?

Welcome to the forums!

Have you tried running a sfc/scannow to find and possibly repair corrupted system files? We have many fine tutorials here, written by some VERY knowledgeable people.

This is one : SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

You're in fine hands with Brink, listen to whatever he says and you'll be fine.

Well I can't open or run anything, how do I run an sfc or scan now, I have no clue

Hello BlakBackJK, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Do you get an error message when you try to open them?

No I don't get anything, my cursor shows the loading circle then it that goes away and it acts like nothing ever happened

Work through the same steps as for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start to disinfect in Safe or Boot modes, check for System File damage.

Report back results including the MBAM results if possible, or write down the infections found by Windows Defender if run from boot scan, SFC results.

Thanks you guys for all of the help! I'm running a scan in safe mode right now! I'll see what I can find out

There appeared to be several files under the name of Uniblue DriverScanner my computer saw as malicious, anyone heard of this?
