no matter how many times i try to execute AVGUIX.EXE, nothing happens.
File Location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\Framework\Common\AVGUIX.EXE
this is supposed to be the GUI, right? why won't it start from the command prompt?
if i can't start a GUI via CMD.EXE then this AV is now useless to me. my explorer.exe is disabled … to prevent virus infection, to improve system performance, and to improve system security. so please don't tell me to use the system tray, or the start menu, to access the GUI. these options are not available to me on my Windows 10 computer, since those are part of explorer.exe.
and in case you don't know, explorer.exe is not iexplore.exe. my computer also can't access the MicroSoft Store, i can't change the screen saver, and the desktop wallpaper is always black. there are no icons on the desktop to click - not because they're removed, but because it does not show the desktop. at all. furthermore, before you ask, yes, i do get updates, so my copy of Windows 10 is definitely genuine.
if you want to tell me how to fix it, but don't believe my computer is in this state, i will give you the following directions so you can replicate my situation and determine if AVGUIX.EXE will indeed bring up the GUI on your machine:
start regedit
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
locate the Shell string value.
change it from explorer.exe to cmd.exe
once you have taken these steps, you can then restart your computer and tell me if you can get the AVG GUI to come up, as i've had no luck with it.
