Windows 10: Receiving 'Failed to create empty document' error on calling opendocumentfile() on Windows...

I am facing 'Failed to create empty document' error in an application when calling opendocumentfile() on Windows 10 version 1709 (16299.1451).

This error does not occur when i launch the application from within Visual Studio or run as an administrator.


Also this error does not occur on Windows 10 version 1803 (17134.1069).


If there is any bug fixed in the meanwhile, would appreciate if someone can share the details about the same.

I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
