Windows 10: Updated to Windows 11 and now software only opens as background process. Reverting to Win10...

Our lab's Win10 PCs are being upgraded, and one of the essential software packages doesn't open with Windows 11. The software is TotalChrom by PerkinElmer. Programs where I attempted to open always show up in the "Background Processes" under the Task manager. This is the same regardless of how the software was installed.I can revert to Windows 10 and the software opens with no issue. I have tried wiping PCs and performing fresh installs with TotalChrom and get the same result. I've tried compatibility settings from XP thru WIndows 10, resetting between each change.PCs I've tried on:Lenovo P14L

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

APP OPENS ONLY AS A BACKGROUND PROCESS AND DOESN'T SHOW ANY INTERFACE

Issue Description:

• The Anghami app does not open properly on my PC.
  
• When attempting to launch the app, it remains as a background process and does not display the user interface.
  
• The only way I can temporarily resolve this issue is by restarting my laptop with the Wi-Fi turned off, opening the Anghami app before turning the Wi-Fi back on.
  

Steps Taken to Resolve:

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Updating the app to the latest version.
   
2. Reinstalling the app.
   
3. Running the app in compatibility mode.
   
4. Running the app as an administrator.
   
5. Checking for conflicting software.
   
6. Creating a new user account.
   
7. Verifying system resources and closing unnecessary background applications.
   
8. Checking for Windows updates.
   
9. Reviewing Event Viewer for error messages.
   
10. Ensuring the correct network configuration.
    

Unfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue.

System Information:

Operating System: Windows 11 pro (10.0.22621 Build 22621)

Anghami App Version: 2.4.0 and the older version too 2.2.3

Hardware Specifications: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, 64-bit operating

PS IT DIDN'T OPEN BEFORE I UPDATED TO WINDOWS 11 TOO!

 

Program running a background process?

I'm running Corel Video Studio 2018, and it's updates function shows characteristics of a background process:

- the program has an auto check daily plus a manual option for updates

- manually checked, presented with an option of downloading an update and Ok'd, evidence of any activity vanishes from the program workspace, yet the connected internet modem activity light begins running hot as the download happens

- it's repeatable over several up-date cycles

The evidence seems to suggest a background activity - whilst the program/PC is free to use for other things. Several software packages do this.

However, a check in task manager/processes, show all, does not display any info of a related background process for any Corel or Video Studio program. If a background process is being used by the software, MUST it be listed in the task manager/processes
list?

Platform is windows 7 home sp1 64bit plus the important patches.
