Maybe something here if necessary:

What is display / causing the error message? Some anitvirus/security/antispyware products can
cause this error. On those who use you, including those that your never had even those
uninstalled (the remnants can cause problems). McAfee is just an example of what many can do.

Start - type in the search box - Services - find top - Right Click - Run as Admin

Windows Defender - value STARTED and AUTOMATIC

or set MANUAL and STOPPED if necessary
