Hello B Laycraft,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Before we proceed further, can you please check if there are any logs in the Event viewer at the time when the apps fails to start?
I'm waiting for your reply.

bday.exe no longer starts and displays the birthdays of people in the database. I can't even find the database...I think it is embedded in the executable (bday.exe).
How do I make the program work again or is there a similar program that would automatically extract the birthdays from the current executable:

Please type Event Viewer in the search bar and press Enter. Then please reproduce the issue and check to see if there are any event in Windows > Applications that was created at the same time.
