[SOLVED] Some programs won't open in windows 10 1909

[r00tcracker]

Hi guys,



I am having some issues with some programs that would just not open after a fresh install of Windows 10 1909 on a new computer. The programs work fine in windows 1903 but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what is going on.

If I boot in safe mode, the program opens.

If i run it in sandboxie, it opens too.



I tried disabling my antivirus (Eset Smart Security(, nothing. Looked around windows defender too, but couldn't find anything.



Any help would be appreciated!

I don't know what else to do.

Please describe this "fresh install".

Where are these programs?
Did you reinstall them after the install?

Fresh install, brand new PC that I built.
One of them is Tableau Desktop.
Fresh installation on the new PC.
Opens up fine in old pc with 1903 but new one with 1909 does not.

No errors at all, it just doesn't open.
This particular one I just double click it, the Activation licensing service that it uses, open as a background app in task manager, but the actual program doesn't start.

I have another one that a friend developed, it opens as a background app, but doesn't open as an actual app.

If I boot in safe mode, all of them work fine, or run them in Sandboxie.
