📎 AI Summary:
The thread focuses on a Windows system where common executable tools (regedit, task manager) won’t open, even when attempting to run them as administrator, with an error indicating the exe path can’t be found. Replies suggest checking that `C:\Windows\` actually exists, testing Safe Mode (where apps do open), and then running system repair commands (`sfc /scannow` and DISM) to address potential system corruption—followed by advice to run Malwarebytes to rule out malware. Overall sentiment is that it likely points to malware/virus tampering rather than a hardware issue, though the participants start with system integrity checks first.
