Its not the program that im unable to open but a windows error which pops up continuously while i try to use it, stating that i need a program to open a "about".

The file extension of the program is .exe.

Was this from Windows store?

what version of windows are you on?
right click start
choose run...
type winver and press enter

If current version is 1803, try doing this: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

the other solution to that error message problem is listed here as option 1 but the repair install is probably safer. All it fixes is windows, it doesn't touch any of your files. All you lose are cumulative updates and you can soon get those back again.
