The programs affected do not work in safe mode, I did delete my premium Malware Bytes and have installed the free version. Opening window works for update and scan, but all other menu items like settings and history do not, plus the activate window comes up but I cannot enter ID key.
Last night I chose to unhide my taskbar, this morning after windows booted I clicked on my icons in the taskbar and nothing happened, I clicked on the trial version icon of MB on my desktop and it worked. After the program rendered my screen flashed and the icons in the taskbar are working. This has happened before, but some days none of the icons work.
Really strange, one of my programs (google earth) where the menu wasn't working worked for a short time, but now the menu shortcuts are grayed out and I can't close the program. It seems the header of these programs are corrupt.
