Hi,

Hello Wallace. Microsoft Windows has a website where you can fix your problem. In this website, you are given the choice to let Microsoft fix the problem for you automatically, or you can choose to fix the problem yourself, manually.

If you want to do it manually, then I shall summarize it for you below. Otherwise, follow this link for an autofix solution to your problem.

1) Click "Start"

2) Click "Accessories" folder

3) Right-click on "command prompt", choose "Run as Administrator" from the subsequent drop down menu.

4) Type the following: icacls "C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedOfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform" / grant "Network Service:F" /t

According to the website, this should solve your problem. If it does not work, try the automatic version.

Have a good day!
