    Hi Aleena,

    I see that Windows Installer service is missing, that is why the repair upgrade would be the best option, it should repair Windows services.

    Hi Aleena,

    Thankyou for that information, so there is no work or school account linked that may be causing this, the best option would be to perform a repair upgrade using the Widows 10 ISO, that will hopefully fix Windows Installer.

    Please follow the steps, this is then just an update and your files and applications will remain untouched.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO, not USB

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the upgrade option.
