i don't think i have malware ,

You definitely do.

i get it why you said i have malware ,when i check the log file there is svchost.exe with discord logo and explorer.exe with also discord logo,

You likely ran a bundled Discord/malware installer that threw a fake error message.

  • Download Fixlist.txt **** and save to the folder FRST64.exe is in
  • Run FRST and press "Fix" - the computer will restart to complete the fix

Please upload Fixlog.txt

    Since you mentioned using a registry file to make changes, you can try performing a System Restore to revert your system to a state before the changes were made.

    You can follow the instructions in the links you provided(https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8703-restor...) to manually restore file type associations.

Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

    In its moment it happened with DIscord, any other application showing this exact same error?

    Unfortunately, fixing the registry becomes challenging without a backup, as we're uncertain about the specific keys that were altered or the configurations that were removed.

    Try the following steps: Open the Registry Editor by pressing Windows key + R, typing "regedit," and hitting Enter. Navigate to the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.exe. Make sure the values match the default settings by comparing them with another Windows 10 system or checking online resources.
