x64 Apps launch, *all* fail to open (not responding) *any* image files
Along with the usual "Not Responding" issues for Windows Explorer, and most if not all apps...
Due to near constant "not responding", freezing, & crashes of Windows Photo Viewer I ran an "Upgrade Install" with a Win 7 op sys disk. Following this action, Windows Photo Viewer, Photoshop, Paint are unable to open ANY image files. The app launches, "Not Responding" appears, file never opens. Multiple Alt F-4, and/or multiple closing attempts with Task Manager usually closes the app. Rebooting is occasionally necessary.
System File Checker detects no issues
Checkdisk OK
Defrag Completed
RegClean run
Malwarebytes Antimalware run
BitDefender 11 run and then uninstalled to avoid possible compatibility issues
I have no desire to format and reinstall opsys, but that appears to be my best option...
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!
