My software won't run since Windows update on Monday, Jan. 24

I cannot get my software to run since Monday.  Windows was installing updates in the background, but I still can't open ProSeries.

I decided to run Windows File Maintenance before I reinstalled.  It took 6 hours!  But, it fixed whatever the problem was.  Thanks for your information.

Im guessing youve done a hard reboot (powered off the computer) since the issue began.

What happens when you try to open ProSeries?

Yes, I've rebooted multiple times today and yesterday.

Nothing happens when I try to run the software.  The cursor circles a few times then stops.  I have waited up to an hour.  Nothing.
