Does anyone have a way to fix this on windows 10? Clicking on start does not work wit windows 10.

are you kidding? were did you source that instruction? because it smells an awful lot like this...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058

yeah... that should look familiar. and it didn't work.

im trying to update a win7sp1. its restore image is circa 2011-12. i did this 8 months ago without a catch... why is it bugging up now?

on a fun note, after applying the "fix" suggested in the link, windows update diagnostic thinks it actually fixes the problem. never mind that it finds the same problem again on successive runs and continues to try the same non fix solution.

but seriously... why doesnt any one on this thread list the sources of their "fixes"? 

"oh yeah and try this complicated nonsense. i came up with it all on my own... wink wink nudge nudge say no more. just dont ask me what it does or how it works."

I had a problem with some updates of Windows Store's Apps. I get this error.

This solution worked excellent !
