Why is my laptop not opening certain programs?

Check for System Updates:

If your system is not updated, some of your software may not be supported.

Check Your Firewall:

Verify that your firewall is configured correctly and that it is not blocking the application.

Try a Restore Point:

If you recently made a change to the system that may have caused this issue, you can try to restore your computer to a previously working version.

Uninstall and Reinstall:

If none of the above steps work, you could try completely uninstalling the program and reinstalling it from the source.
