Here is the solution to Dreamweaver Crashing problem on PCs that recently upgraded to Windows 10 or just installed Adobe Dreamweaver 10 after installing Windows 10.
Symptoms : On starting Dreamweaver, the application flashes for a second and then closes. Opening Dreamweaver files also causes the same problem.
Solution: Repair windows Files corrupted during installation.
Step 1: Open cmd (Command Prompt) as administrator. You need to be in the system32 folder to run this command.
Step 2: Type sfc /scannow
Step 3: Wait for the scan to complete. Restart the computer once.
Now try to Open Dreamweaver and see if it is working.
Wow, thank you so much. I almost thought I couldn’t use dreamweaver anymore on new windows, but this fixed the problem.

It’s not very often I leave feedback but had to say a big thank you for this fix. Worked brilliant.
After installing windows 10 my all adobe software work fine but when I start Dreamweaver cs6 gives me error “the application was unable to start correctly 0xc00007b”
I also try sfc/scannow (as admin) but not work for me. Pls suggest solutions
It worked and even made another incompatible software to work. Chetan, put a space between “sfc” and “/”
You Sir, are my hero!
I did this twice and it did not show any corrupted files. Any other ideas? I may just reinstall Windows 7.
Thanki you.
Its Works for me 🙂 in Windows 10
Awesome…..
Thank you! so much for this helping post
It works. Thanks infinitely.
I have same problem but I have 64 bit window please tell me what should I do?
I have 64 bit windows and still this worked for me. If this does not work for you then it is an installation error. Try a fresh clean install of dreamweaver.
did not work for me, no error found dreamweaver still not opening.
Dear Rooturaj
A very big thank you,
Firstly I tried to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3, but without success.
Then I found your web page and now it works normally
Congratulation

Hi, It doesn’t work for me : it’s saying “the protection of the Windows resources doesn’t succeed to start the repair’s service” What can I do? I work with Dreamweaver CS6 and since I have put Windows 10 I am not able to open it !!!!! I am very angry 😉
I rarely leave messages or thank yous, but this is truly terrific. I had already resigned myself to not being able to use Dreamweaver, and this was my hail mary. I opened it as soon as it hit 100% verified, and voila!!! A miracle! Thank you, thank you.
Solution worked like a charm. Thanks a lot.
its not working on win 10
Thank you !! It worked for me.
Does not work for me… Dreamweaver8 flashes and then closes… Can anyone help ?
Couldn’t get past the following message.
Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.
Thank you so much Sir.
its working………!
Thanks a lot for guidance. I also upgraded my OS from 8.1 to 10 and was facing problem in using Dreamweaver CS5.
I am so scared to upgrade and fail things fail. So am grateful for this information. Is this likely to work for Acrobat Pro from the CS5 suite too? Many thanks!
Thanks man
You are a genius. Nor Adobe or Microsoft could help me in this regard.
Thank you.
Thank You! Incredible! Thank You! Amazing!
This solution worked for me.
I am so glad I found Your post on this issue. And I have seen quite a lot of alternative methods that unfortunately did not work.
64-bit System
After upgrading from Win 7 Professional to Win 10 Pro

It worked… Win 10 – 64bits
For those of you who still had a problem, please install again. Uninstalling and reinstalling the software worked like a charm for me 😉
