<div>
check in device manager if there are some errors<br />
updating the drivers can help also<br />
if possible, test the error device on another PC
</div>


<div>
What OS are you using?<br />
Did you check the device manager to see if any of the items listed have yellow icon?<br />
Also the you have up to date security patches&gt;
</div>


<div>
Windows 8.1<br />
no. No dwvics in yellow mark in device manager <br />
Yes. The system fully updated. In fact the issue started after December month patches. Not very sure which patch created the issue. The error occurred while opening some applications. And while installing application using msi file too. When I try to install java 8.25 using msi file got same error. Tried update the java online and java got updated.

<div>
if an update was the cause, likely a corrective one will come out soon
</div>


<div>
it is my assumption that patch could be the culprit, but not sure, no other changes done in the system only the patches are applied
</div>


<div>
there were several bad ones the last 2 months
</div>


<div>
i think it could be some patch, but could not find the root cause and solved automatically
