I got this error message:

"This app can't run on your PC
to find a version for your PC check with the software publisher"


Most of my installed software turned to a white icon on my desktop and taskbar

when I click on them I get the error message above

I get the same error message when I try to install them again

any .exe file I click on I get that error message


I am using Windows 10 pro
Dell latitude E6510




Please help me
Thank you

and what app are these?
visual studio code, sumatraPDF, zoom, telegram, Tor browser, etc.
malware scan your system?
Doing it now with windows defender
from your pre thread. did you do something to stop windows update?
Yes but Just the way I used to stop it before the thread I created.
from - run - services.msc - windows update - disable windows update "wuauserv"
The problem is that it always starts automatically, so I usually disable it each time I want to connect to my internet

This is showing under my windows update setting "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes."

sound like issue with the windows install.
since my Windows update settings page is showing this:
"Your device is missing important security and quality fixes."

could it be the problem?
(because I always disable Windows)

I just finished scanning with Windows Defender, but actions failed and abandoned on some threats detected
should I use Avast instead?
check event log? try to repair it?
please how to repair it
