This is a new Windows 11 pro install. I created a new user with an existing MS account. It wants me to use the authenticator app, which I tried a thousand times, but I don't get the notifications. I don't particularly want to use the authenticator app. We do have email 2 step authentication set up for that account, and I would like to use that.

• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

 

Can`t install new programs, "Windows Installer" can`t be accessed

Hello there,
since a few days I can`t install new programms on my Windows 11 Pro. The installation will startup, but then there will be the error
"Windows Installer can`t be accessed"
I tried to search online for solutions, but most were for other versions of Windows or didn`t work for me.
msiexec.exe is running and set to manual. I tried closing it and also unregistering and re-registering.
If anyone knows a solution or what could have started it, please help
Best regards

 

Windows Installer Issues! Can´t Install Programs on Windows 11.

Did you see my warning under the WIndows Club link in my last post to avoid Restoro which is a PUP? If you'd miss that I wonder what else was missed. Absolute thoroughness is required in these issues, skipping nothing and asking back if you need any help to complete a step. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step, so please do not skip any. If you need help performing any step I will help.

I would uninstall Restoro ASAP and run System File Checker/DISM in WIndows 11:

If that doesn't fix it then you can do a Windows 11 Repair Upgrade which reinstalls Windows while saving your files and apps in place, brings it up to the latest version by the most stable method, takes about an hour and resolves most problems: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-wi...
