  1. Hello, Srikant! I have recently uninstalled windows 10 and updated windows 7 but my pc not working properly. . Sometimes when you try to open any application an error message “this app can’t be open” appears. I am unable to solve the issue.

    • Hi there may be corrupt system files causing the issue.
      I recommend open command prompt as administrator first Run DISM command dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
      After 100% complete the scanning process run sfc /scannow command to restore missing corrupted system files.
      Restart windows and check it helps.
