[SOLVED] Programs shutdown 5 seconds after opening

[SpeedGeek]

I'm an IT Specialist and this issue is really driving me crazy today, hope I could brain storm with you guys. Recently upgraded my machine and did a clean Windows 10 install on a WD Black NVME, here's my new system specs:

• Intel Core i7-10700KF
• Viper Steel Series DDR4 32GB (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz
• ASUS PRIME Z490-A LGA 1200
• ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3070 - 8GB
• WD Black 2TB SN750 NVMe

For the last couple of days certain programs just won't stay open. Browsers work fine, but things like Malwarebytes, or MSCONFIG will open and the immediately shutdown. I'm also unable to run any new installs because the setup file will open and the immediately shutdown. I am able to boot into Safemode and install things there so I've already run several anti-virus programs, SFC / SCANNOW, Disk Check, my next step is to run TWEAKING.COM Windows Repair. I'm currently running AVG's deep scan. Obviously restarted multiple times, updated all drivers, updated BIOS and updated Windows.

I'd REALLY like to avoid reinstalling Windows again, it takes days to get all my programs / settings configured each time.

Thank you 👏

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition?

Before running any additional software look in Window's own Reliability History and Event Viewer for any error codes, warnings, or even informational events that correspond with the times of the shutdowns or other related problems.

You can also use Resource Monitor and Task Manager (use both but only one at time) to observe system performance. Determine what resources are in use, to what extent (%), and what is using any given resource. In Task Manager look for any unexpected or unidentifiable apps being launched via the Startup Tab.

Try opening the browser while watching - you may be able to catch some change that leads to the shutdown....

Installing 3rd party utilities can prove viable in identifying and fixing some problem. But also introduces another (or other) variables. Plus the always ever present risk of also including malware of some sort.

I would forego any such utility without more information about the problem.

Been using the Farbar utility for 15 years, it will provide a lot of useful info about the problem.

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool is used in malware & other forums. Here are a few of them.

Sorry, it's been a while since I posted here I forgot about Farbar,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PmGPxWLGZLPJz5icO1vOkmGBVMyVW_CZ/view?usp=sharing

Since my original post I've tried disabling ALL non-microsoft startup service and startup apps, and running Tweaking.com Windows Repair process, I'm now uninstalling every single ASUS program.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated

 

[Johnwmel]

Ok, got both logs, will go through them ASAP.

"Tweaking.com Windows Repair"
Should have been run in Safe mode. Did you?
Have look in their logs, you may get a clue re your problem.

 

[Johnwmel]

You have 2 faulty drivers, upload a SS ( screenshot ) of what Snail finds,. Don't install any drivers.

I think I removing all the ASUS Software resolved the situation. I'm up and running again, programs are launching successfully

Ran SnailDriver and it updated 3 drivers, Thank you - I didn't know a program like that existed I thought they were always full of ads and never actually did what they claimed. Great to learn about it! Thank you!

Updated:

PCI Express Root Complex
Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0

Extract from your Addition log. If you want to run Farbar again, you will see if Snail fixed them.
