Slow to open exe files

Question

My Windows opens "exe" files very slowly, some software takes a few minutes to open

Answer 1

It could be some specific software, I will ask you to do a clean boot and then test the software individually to identify the problem.

Below is the article to run the clean boot, leave only what is from microsoft to start with windows and do a new test

If you can't identify, give me some examples of applications that present this slowness.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, no changes were made.

What do you think is the cause of the problem? I read somewhere that someone had the same problem as me and thought that opening the portable software caused it.

Answer 3

Let's check the system files and also scan to make sure it's not a virus.

To check system files:

Use System File Checker to fix possible corrupted or missing Windows files.

Run the following commands from the command prompt (as an administrator) one at a time:

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

sfc /scannow

chkdsk /R /F /X

Reboot and check if the issue is resolved.

To Scan for viruses and malware:

Follow the Defender offline procedure at the link below:

Then download the trial version from the website below Malware bytes and run it.

Answer 5

Hi, uaral. I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution.

Has this problem started to occur recently?

Can you pass on the details of the computer's configuration, such as the motherboard, disk, memory and processor?
