Hello,

I have a PC running Windows 8.1, and for a few days now, every time I launch an application, I get this message: "The application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. For more information, please see the application event log or use the sxstrace.exe command-line tool."

What does this mean? What is the problem? No matter what application I launch, I always get this message; I can’t use my computer at the moment.

Thank you for your help!

Configuration: Android / Chrome 56.0.2924.87

Hello,

Thank you for your response. Recently, I have been on the internet. I can only open the "File Explorer" folder; otherwise, no application starts, and I always get the same message. I performed a system restore as you told me, and it was successfully completed, but it didn't fix the problem.

I would like to run a disk scan with the antivirus, but how can I do that since I can't launch the app on its own?

Thank you,

Have a good day.
