Browsers Won't Open

[shanemarks21]

I logged in today to find that neither Firefox or Chrome would open, i double click and nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled, reset winsock, made sure antivirus wasn't interfering, tried opening as admin but nothing seems to be working. I do have back up browsers (Opera and Ice Dragon) that seem to be working fine, but cannot get Firefox or Chrome to work. This is on Windows 10

Have you tried restarting the pc?

I did and that didn't work, I did finally solve it though. I had malwarebytes anti exploit installed and i tried disabling it just to try it and they started working. uninstalled it and all is well in the wold. Never had a problem with malwarebytes malware protection figured i would try another product, not a fan lol
