On our computer with Windows 10 we have a large number of applications. Many of these applications we use frequently, on a daily basis in many cases. Therefore, when opening them we look for a way that is fast in this regard. But when it comes to running applications on the computer there are many different ways.
Therefore, below we show you all the ways that we can use on our Windows 10 computer to run applications. Since it is possible that all of them are not known. Also, there are occasions where a method might not work and so we can turn to others, which allow us to open this application.
It is good to know all the systems that we have available in Windows 10. Since if there is an option that fails at a certain time, we can always resort to some of these other systems on the computer, preventing the computer from being prevented from executing said application.
Search bar in Windows 10
The search bar, located in the lower left part of the taskbar, allows us to search for any application or program that we have in Windows 10. We can make use of it when executing an application on the computer. In said search bar, all we have to do is write the name of said application.
Just start typing the name, because a list with results will be shown immediately. So we only have to click on that application that we want to open on the computer and in a matter of a few seconds will appear on the screen. A simple and quite fast method, as you can see.
Task Manager
Another method that we can use to run applications in Windows 10 is through the task manager. In this case, what we will have to do is open the task manager, using the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Del. Then a new screen appears, where we can see then that one of the options is the task manager. We click on it.
When it has been opened we have to click on the upper part of the administrator, where we must click on execute task. A run window will then open on the screen, where we will be able to enter the executable of said application, which usually ends in .exe, so that this application will be executed on Windows 10. In a few seconds it will open on the screen .
Run Window
It is another method that many users in Windows 10 use when opening applications. We can make use of a run window at all times, although it has a but, and that is we must know the name of the executable of the specific application. Although there are some applications whose executable we already know. This method is a good option to use in the event that we have problems with it when executing it.
To open a run window in Windows 10, we have to make use of the key combination Win + R and it will open a system run advantage then. In it we must write the executable of that application that we want to open on the computer. Being an executable, it must always end in ".exe". Once entered, we accept and it is a matter of waiting a couple of seconds for the application to open.
Find the executable
All the applications that we have installed on our computer with Windows 10 they have an executable file. Therefore, we can search for its executable file, thus forcing the application to start. In this sense we have to use a specific path on the computer. Executable files are normally found in C: \ Program Files or C: \ Program Files (x86).
What we have to do is use the drive in which we have the operating system. If you use one that is not C, then it has to be in that other drive in your case. It can happen in cases where you have several drives in Windows 10. In this section you have to go to folder of the application in question and look in it for its executable file. You will recognize it because it is a file ending in .exe. You double-click on it and the application will open.
Using the Windows 10 start menu
Finally, a way that is well known to most users in Windows 10 is to use the start menu. We have to click on the Windows icon at the bottom left of the screen, allowing the start menu to open. In it we find the list of applications that we have installed on the computer. So we only have to look for the name of the application that we want to open at that moment. A simple method that we use regularly on the computer.
