After I install Blender.exe and click "Finish" nothing happens. In the YouTube tutorials I have watched, everyone has had a cmd looking thing that pops up and then runs Blender.

$\begingroup$ Hello... you mean Blender is not automatically started by the installer or do you mean it does not run at all when launch by its icon ? $\endgroup$– lemonCommented Jul 27, 2016 at 17:30

$\begingroup$ "a cmd looking thing that pops up" — you mean the Start menu? $\endgroup$– r3mainerCommented Jul 27, 2016 at 18:02

3$\begingroup$ "a cmd looking thing that pops up" - I bet he means Blender console. Anyway, if Blender doesn't start from the installer alone, then start it manually from the start menu, or the desktop icon if you have one. It's not the installer's job to launch an application for you. $\endgroup$– Duarte Farrajota Ramos ♦Commented Jul 27, 2016 at 18:49

$\begingroup$ I had a similar problem once when I updated to a newer blender version. The shortcut wasn't working for me anymore. just deleted it and made a new shortcut referring to the new blender.exe. Another possible reason is you might not have administrator rights (just a thought) $\endgroup$– DelagoneCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 14:56

All you need to do is to click your start menu, the Windows icon located in the bottom left corner, then select "All Programs" and Blender should be in the list.

$\begingroup$ How is this not an answer to the question? @DuarteFarrajotaRamos, reading the question, the user likely clicked the wrong exe, or just didn't open the exe at all. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 17, 2016 at 22:50
