Hi Vineela, you probably already tried turning it off and on again but if not, please do a regular shutdown and restart of Windows in case there is a transient glitch affecting your browsers.

You might have some kind of malware issue. Can you run Malwarebytes or other cleaning tools? We have download links in this support article: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.

Hi, In safe mode services.msc. checked it is stopped.when trying to start it manually.it is showing some message " it is not allowed to start the service " . Then checked in normal mode.it is showing as running status in security and maintenance. Please suggest me . Is it also a reason for which installed apps browsers are not running . Please suggest steps to troubleshoot.

Maybe it also makes sense to run the Windows System File Checker

Right-click on the SFC program and select 'Run As Administrator.'
