    Help! Can't install anything


    Just tried installing LibreOffice, Almost installed then it started rolling back. Said...

    Virus & Threat Protection
    Unauthorized Changes Blocked
    Controlled Folder Access Blocked

    So I turned off Windows Defender and tried again. Same message.
    Tried Safe Mode...No Windows Installer in Safe Mode
    Tried a different AV. Bitdefender. Tried installing. Got to 90% then started rollback. Same error message.
    Made sure Defender was off, allowed exe files, ran as Administrator. Same error message.

    Does anyone know whats going on???

    Running Win 10 1709 16299.431

    Can't install anything

    I can't install anything - I get an error message telling me that an installation is in progress and it must complete before I install anything else.

    I've done a disk clean-up as suggested and checked the registry but there is no Windows Installer In Progress entry.

    All suggestions and help welcome.

  3. Windows 10 start page can't open anything.

    Hi,

    This issue might occur if the system settings are corrupted.

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to follow below steps and check.

    Step 1: I suggest you to install all the latest pending Windows updates as below and check if it helps.

    • Go to “settings” and click on “update and security”.
    • Under tab “Windows update”, click on the icon “check for updates”.
    • Then once you find the pending updates install it and check.

    Step 2: I suggest you to run the app troubleshooter from the below article and check if it helps.

    Run the troubleshooter for Windows apps:

    Method 2: Use System File Checker to repair damaged Windows files.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair damaged Windows files. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Press Windows logo key + X, select
      Command Prompt (Admin)
      .
    • Run the "sfc /scannow" command by copy/pasting it into the Command prompt (Admin) and hit
      Enter key.
    • Once it complete, try to install updates again to see if they work correctly
