What if the desktop shortcut cannot be opened by double clicking

Shortcut is a way for the computer to quickly start the program. What should I do if I can't open it suddenly? Next, I sorted out the desktop shortcut for you. I hope it will be helpful to you!

First of all, we need to judge whether this shortcut is a false shortcut. Some friends may wonder whether the shortcut is also false. Of course, as long as the suffix is changed to LNK, there will be a small arrow that only appears in the shortcut, but it has no linked program (as shown in the figure below). You will never open this shortcut. Just delete it.

If there is a target location in the view attribute, we need to check whether the target file has been moved. Usually, we may often move some infrequently used files for management, or classify the files. At this time, the shortcut we created before cannot be used because the file path is wrong. At this time, we just need to delete the shortcut on the desktop, Then go to the file and create a new desktop shortcut.

In addition to file movement, another possibility is that the target file is deleted, of course, under abnormal circumstances. If you delete according to the normal deletion process, the desktop shortcut will also be deleted. However, if you only delete the file, the shortcut will still be saved on the desktop, but it has no effect. You can delete it.

If there is an error in the file pointed to by your shortcut, it is reasonable that double clicking the desktop shortcut cannot be opened. In order to test whether it is a software problem, we can open it in the folder where the software is located. If it cannot be opened, it proves that it is a software problem, uninstall and reinstall it. When uninstalling, we must uninstall it completely to avoid conflict during reinstallation.

We try to open other shortcuts. If many shortcuts cannot be opened, it is likely to be a virus. At this time, we check and kill the computer virus. It is better to check and kill the virus in safe mode. If we still can't eliminate the stubborn virus, we can use special killing tools, and the effect will be better.

Of course, in addition to the above solutions, there are other methods, such as shortcut repair software, registry modification method, and there are many methods circulating on the Internet. However, I haven't tried these methods, and I'm not sure whether they are really effective, so I don't list them here. If the above methods can't solve the problem, I can try these methods.
