I am missing the run command from my computer. I do not mean from the menu. I mean the actual exe seems to be gone. I can type run in the search field on the Start Menu and it shows the Desktop App icon but if I click it nothing happens. If I press Windows+R nothing happens.
I never get an error or anything it just doesn't launch the run prompt dialog box. I am on Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview build number 14295.1000. I run Avast Anti-Virus.
My only theory at this point is that Avast falsely identified the exe as a virus and deleted it. Can anyone tell me how to go about repairing this issue, please? I tried to Google it but all I get are countless articles on how to add Run to the Start Menu.

since there is a third party security application on your system. we could boot into clean boot then press Windows+R again to have a test in case it is blocked by third party security application .
if the issue persists, your current system files might be corrupted. Please try to scan and restore your current system component using "DISM"command. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
If above method doesn’t work. I suggest to execute a system restore, this way can restore your system to a previous healthy state which can resolve present problems.
Best regards
