Run Dialogue & Websites
|
Mike B
Hi All,
I ran into a strange problem on a friend's
Windows 7 Home computer. When you type a URL into the Run Dialogue nothing
happens! I checked to make sure a browser was selected as the default and
that all program associations were selected but, still nothing happens when you
press enter on a URL from the Run Dialogue.
You can type, Notepad, or other commands into
the Run Dialogue and you'll go straight to them but, for whatever reason URL's
don't work, so to speak. Can anyone shed some light on how to fix this
issue? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
Stay safe and take care. Mike.

Good afternoon, Did this issue just start or has it been this way all of the time? Also he is not getting any errors? What happens to the run box after he presses enter after entering a URL? I am going to assume he is putting the http:// or https:// before the domain.

Hi Juan,
She has tried all combinations of http, https,
www. and when she presses enter on the URL nothing happens. No error
codes, just nothing happens but, you can type, Notepad, or other commands, press
enter and you'll go right to it.
Stay safe and take care. Mike.

I been doing some resurch on this and have not found anything yet. The only things I can think of are, to have your friend run a cleaner like c cleaner, anti-virous like Malwarebytes. She could also try a command line fix: Run CMD as and administrator, and type the line “sfc /scannow”.

Why not just open a browser first? That should solve the issue.
Unless of course there's really a virus, or he isn't connected to
the internet.

Because that doesn't answer the question or
resolve the problem. Stay safe and take care. Mike.
