my league director does not open or has any error messages even though I still used it well before. Help me :(

I'm going to be honest, I wasn't expecting this to help me - but it did. I was having trouble with two applications opening after an update, and this is the only thing to fix it. Thank you!

a temporary solution that some of you guys can try is when your reboot your computer, immediately open up task manager (control+shift+escape) then wait for it to pop up. wait for it to finish loading and you should be able to open up your stuff

I followed the guide and now I can open things if i select to open them as adm. Any clues why is that? Should I create a new user?

When i open a .exe file this is what happens: i double click, nothing happens, and windows explorer freezes. To close windows explorer i have to restart it with task manager

Hey ive got a ? Ive taken my laptop n 2 get checked cuz the mouse pad works but the mouse wasnt showing up/ wuldnt move unless i had 1 plugged n well they fixed it for like 5 mins then it stopped again which not so bad i just use a reg mouse anyway but they noticed while checking it out that when my comp starts the shell will come up on the screen until u exit it. Said it was no big deal but i was wondering if theres a way to get it 2 stop? Or if that it might b a probelm?

You are a lifesaver thank you.👍 If I were to ask some of my so called "computer Savvy friends" concerning this problem they would totally be at a loss. 😞

I kind of hate modifying the registry without knowing exactly why. Can you explain what "%1"%* is and what it does? Thanks.
