I have a self-built Windows 8 PC.
Whenever I try to open applications such as Chrome, Task Manager, and most desktop shortcuts, nothing happens.
Chrome: when i click the chrome icon (Or even going into the folder and running the executable as an administrator) absolutely nothing happens. The icon will light up, the mouse will rotate as if its loading, and then: Nothing. The lit up icon un-lights, the mouse goes back to normal, and nothing happens.
BUT: one day, after frustratingly trying to start my browser and giving up, I came back about 30 mins later and Google Chrome actually opened... about 10 windows (because that's how many times i clicked it trying to open it).
NOTE: Chrome used to open fast and responsively but out of nowhere, now doesnt anymore.
Yes, I have tried clearing the cache, cookies, everything (I mean, when my cleaner decides to even open).
Task Manager: When trying to open task manager (Through Ctrl+Alt+Del or the executable in itself) again, nothing happens.
NOTE: after about 30 mins I receive an error message stating "Task manager failed to open in a timely fashion". (Obviously, since a 4.4GHz Processor shouldn't take freaking half an hour to fail to open Task Manager, a Windows incorporated feature).
Basically the same thing happens with almost any application EXCEPT Internet Explorer (ew), MS Office, and others.
NOTE: All of these used to work fine about a month ago.
Chrome is my biggest concern, so I would appreciate any help in this matter.
Thank you so much,
Dino B.
