Windows 10: MSI files blocked

Upgrade files with the extension .msi bring up messageboxes that have some variant of, "Another installation process is running, wait until that finishes." This has been an ongoing problem for me for YEARS! Usually, I can run them after a restart, but no more. Process explorer does not find msiexec.exe running, and has not since I reinstalled windows 10 in November (because of this problem).


Searching for a solution, I find a big bunch of people having the same problem. My computing stops here if I cannot upgrade or install new software, and, right now, I can't.


We, the users, need a solution! Please?

How To Block Facebook

Step 1. Explore C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
Step 2. Look for a file named as hosts, then open it with Notepad.
Step 3. At the bottom of the file, add the line as shown below:
127.0.0.1 www.blockingsite1.com
We have just shown you www.blockingsite 1.com as example only, replace it with the actual URL so that they are inaccessible to all.
Step 4. Simultaneously if you have more websites that would like to be blocked, just press Enter and repeat step 3 to add additional URL until all desired websites are added. Now make “Enter” at the last line of the UR
Step 5. Save and close the file.
After doing the above formalities all websites that you have entered will be blocked with immediate effect. Definitely this theory will help you to prevent certain websites from being accessed by your kids or anybody else for any reason.

List website to block in host file

So , recent I learn that I can block the ads on my pc if I put the ip address of that ads in the host file to go on 127.0.0.1, well I did not escape from all ads but I am not rely only on browser addons(take some work on cpu), also I like host idea because I can control it and block before enter on pc, not on browser, I put the list from here:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt
