I've closed firefox window. When I wanted to open the error came out.
You cannot open because firefox is already opened but it is not responding. Please close firefox or restart your system.
I've looed for solution on internet. Most people say close firefox using task manager. Then I opened task manager but there is no firefox process. So how can I close it. How do I restart?
Try this:
May be your Firefox previously exited without deleting the lock file.
Restart your computer. After it restarts, don't try to start Firefox.
Go to your Firefox profile folder
Delete the lock file parent.lock
If you attempt to delete the parent.lock file and receive the error, "Cannot delete parent: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable", restart the computer and run the error-checking tool Chkdsk (Windows 2000, XP) or ScanDisk (Windows 98, ME)
or normally following should also work:
Start Task Manager.
Select the Processes tab.
Select the entry for firefox.exe and click End Process.
Click Yes in the "Task Manager Warning" dialog that appears.
Repeat the above steps to end any additional firefox.exe processes, if more than one entry is found, then exit the Windows Task Manager.
Start Firefox normally.
Hope this helps.

Here is my suggestions:
Install a free anti-virus application (eg avast)
Update that anti-virus application with latest definitions
Perform a thorough scan of your PC
If that problem still persist, then re-install your firefox
If that problem still there, re-install your operation system and install firefox again.
If that problem still there, then change the browser. Use chrome instead
Strange! If you will succeed to start your firefox somehow - try to clean all cache (Tools->Clean recent history) and check addons (Tools-> Add-ons. Disable all suspicious.)
Otherwise - I would reinstall the firefox.

What is the name of the exe file for windows terminal preview,
its path and command to open it?
Like for windows terminal it is wt.exe
Check in AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
Look for wt.exe or the "WindowsTerminalPreview" directory for the preview edition.
A more generic path is:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe
Open start menu and open Windows Terminal.
Click ctrl + alt + delete to open tasks manager.
Look for Windows Terminal task and unfold it.
Find Windows Terminal, click your right mouse button, click open file location. It will navigate WindowsTerminal.exe automatically.
That's it.
On my computer WindowsTerminal is installed at C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.9.1942.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe. Note that WindowsApps may be hidden and restricted, you should make sure it is visible and accessable.
Try using where command in cmd. Like this where wt.exe, you should get full path (mine C:\Users\{user-name}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe
Usually I'd recommend that this question be moved to Super User, since it isn't programming related. However, it's too old for that at this point.
wt.exe is what's known as an "Execution Alias", a "fake exe" method to open a Windows Store app (a.k.a. Metro, a.k.a. Universal, a.k.a. Modern, or whatever it's called today).
Both "Windows Terminal" and "Windows Terminal Preview" use the same wt.exe execution alias, since Preview is just a pre-release of the final version.
If you have both versions installed, you'll need to choose which one runs with wt.exe by going to "Manage App Execution Aliases" in the settings (just search for it in the Start menu). Switch off the one you don't want to be using; switch on the one you do.
I was able to execute wt.exe previously.
Now "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe" returns the following. The system cannot find the file XXXX\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe.
The wt.exe is in this directory as expected.
However, when I search for "Windows Terminal" and open it from the start menu it opens.
I believe this behavior is due to a change in my companies security GPO governing the execution of scripts. I am not certain of this yet.
I do not yet have more details but I am digging to find out more.

Trying to install git version 2.27.0 and installation stuck on 100%( full green bar).
I tried all the possible way like changing the install location path and with all the drive i have.but nothing worked.
When I asked my computer to restart and then canceling that....it takes me to the finish window but it worthless I could not run the git bash terminal.while trying to open git bash a file formed,named mintty.exe.stackdump
Please somebody help me to fix the issue....
System: windows7 32bit
Logging: This appears to be an INNO setup. Try to log it with:
Git-2.27.0-32-bit.exe /LOG
Then find the log file in the TEMP folder (sort it by modify time until you find the log file at the top).
Updated: "Short" list of things to check for a failing setup.exe
I have a generic check list / ideas list for failing setups here. Check the "Generic Tricks" section for some suggestions. Here are some of the points as recommendations:
Re-download the setup and virus check it. Quick malware scan of problem box.
Verify disk space and check for disk errors on problem box.
Temporarily disable your anti-virus during installation.
Now try to log your setup as described above - on the problem box - and check for errors.
Further alternatives:
Try to create a new admin account on problem box and install with a freshly downloaded and verified installer.
Install on a virtual to make sure the install can succeed in your environment.
First, as a workaround, you can at least simply uncompress PortableGit-2.27.0-64-bit.7z.exe, anywhere you want, and set your PATH:
set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
The other test you can do is simply to check if the issue persists with previous version of Git for Windows.
i downloaded a malicious software about “coinhive” by mistake. then, Safari start automatically and cannot be closed. How to reslove this problem?
thanks.
You definitely have a malware. Coinhive is not really a virus by itself : it is a JavaScript cryptocurrency miner. Since Coinhive is browser-based, your malware is probably hidden in an extension or somewhere else.
Start by disabling dubious browser extensions and then run an antivirus, like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

So i have a challenge and question for you. My Windows 10 crashed itself yesterday evening with orange "bluescreen of death"(cursed be the guy or girl that designed cashing in Windows). I don't exactly remember the message but when laptop turned off... there was no longer detectable instance of Windows(cursed be the guy or girl designing boot part of Windows 10, only an idiot could do it like this).
Machine is Lenovo Y700 and Windows 10 x64.
That was the problem description part.
My troubleshoot part begins now. NONE OF THESE WORKED
I tried to check if that was hardware problem but all disks are detectable. Tried to reattach them. They all seem to be working fine.
Tried to change from UEFI boot to Legacy boot.
I created bootable repair USB and tried to chkdsk /r c:, nothing was corrupted there
Tried BOOTREC /SCANOS, BOOTREC /FIXMBR, BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD.
Tried to automatic repair system. I knew it would not work as Windows troubleshoot tools are made by "dumb people" and they never work on Windows 10 but ok.(yes they are, in previous month my Windows 10 corrupted thanks to dumb system update cutting me from every program as they could not launch and menu start were frozen)
Tried revert to previous compilation but it cannot detect Windows Bootable Manager most probably, so no luck.
Cannot revert to base version as it does not see Windows at all.
Tried to install new Windows on top of the old one but it does not detect anything about it, so i don't even have the fricking WINDOWS KEY AS IT IS BUILT IN WINDOWS INSTANCE... GRRRRR
Now i need somebody to help me fix detection of Windows instance, so i can do anything about it. Please help.
You could try to remove the harddisk and conect is with an adapter to usb so it acts like an external drive, then install windows on it and place it back.
Or swap the disk in another laptop and do the same thing.
Or you could try to reinstall your bios (wich could cause even more headache)
Or perhaps your harddisk crashed and is not recoverable then replace your disk.
Or try to remove your RAM memory, perhaps that is corrupted..

I'm trying to fill up a form from here . Upon selecting Natural Person from the drop-down menu, a form appears with a button Add Digital Signature. Whenever I click on this button, it gives me this error:
An error occurred when attempting to open certificate list, the error was:

1)Download capicom_dc_sdk.msi from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25281
and install.
2)Locate capicom.dll "e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft CAPICOM 2.1.0.2 SDK\Lib\X86\capicom.dll"
2)Open command prompt with administrator privilege, change directory to directory containing capicom.dll and fire below command
regsvr32 capicom.dll
i was facing same problem. Then I called e-mudhra (I bought dsc from here ) customer care. They took access of my laptop via anydesk, and they performed similar operation i.e.
downloaded capicom.dll.zip.
extracted it.
then copied it (capicom.dll) to : This PC > OS (C:) > Windows > SysWOW64.
then run below command as administrator in cmd :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.836]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd ..
C:\Windows>cd SysWOW64
C:\Windows\SysWOW64>regsvr32 capicom.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64>
5. Now try with Internet Explorer. (Mozilla firefox will not work !)
Now I am able to sign up on website ipindiaonline.gov.in
Process is needed each time after you restart your computer.
Please note that running cmd in Administrator mode is necessary.
To people reaching here, I solved it by installing a digital certficate provided by e-patent website. You need to check which class of certificate you want for authentication.
