what "exe" files?After downloading exe files they will not run.
were you ever able to run applications from this system?For example I downloaded ccleaner and when I went to launch it nothing happened.
It’s been a while since I ran applications but it used to work. Been years since I downloaded any programs. Just use it for chrome plug ins.were you ever able to run applications from this system?
if so, when did these current issues begin?
if not, where did you acquire this system?
Usually Ccleaner is downloaded from a website, accessed via a web browser. Most web browsers are EXE files. How did you download it?I downloaded ccleaner

I downloaded the ccleaner.exe and when I went to open it nothing happened.Usually Ccleaner is downloaded from a website, accessed via a web browser. Most web browsers are EXE files. How did you download it?
Ccleaner when downloaded usually comes as an installer package, which is an EXE file. How did you manage to install Ccleaner?
it would appear you are downloading from an invalid source if you've access to just a ccleaner.exe but not the full installer.I downloaded the ccleaner.exe
and as has already been stated multiple times;When I download a program that is an exe file, such as ccleaner, the file will not execute when I double click on it.
I went to ccleaner.com, clicked “free download” and the file as shown in the posture. Screenshot is from mobile but it’s the same file I downloaded on the laptop. This ccsetup.exe is what downloaded. I can double click it on my windows 10 machine and the installer launches and it installs fine. I do the same in the windows 8.1 laptop and nothing happensand as has already been stated multiple times;
you need to install the program to run it.
which requires downloading the install package from it's host site.
you cannot just download a solo .exe file and click to run the application.
also as has already been asked;
where did you get this file?
either provide the link you downloaded from or post the site you are using to find it.
It should be....ccsetup583.exe.I went to ccleaner.com, clicked “free download” and the file as shown in the posture. Screenshot is from mobile but it’s the same file I downloaded on the laptop. This ccsetup.exe is what downloaded. I can double click it on my windows 10 machine and the installer launches and it installs fine. I do the same in the windows 8.1 laptop and nothing happens
what screen shot?Screenshot is from mobile
Yes. That. It’s downloaded but will not launch on laptop. Launches on desktop. This happened with another program as well.It should be....ccsetup583.exe.
No screen shot. I edited my post and forgot to take out that line.what screen shot?
how are you launching a browser to download the file if you can't run .exe files?
if this issue with CCleaner is the only instance than you need to rephrase to reflect that.
not being to launch a single program is A LOT different than not being to run .exe files in general.
I did acknowledge my error and apologized for it.
"such as" would infer that ccleaner is just a similar file that also would not work as expected.When I download a program that is an exe file, such as ccleaner, the file will not execute when I double click on it.
The one on the laptop is corrupt.I’ll rephrase my inquiry. I have 2 computers. A laptop and desktop. I dowloaded 2 programs that are in the exe format. When I launch the exe file on the desktop the program installer starts and the program installs. On the laptop when I launch the exe file nothing happens.
