    Since the 14332 Update I occasionally see an "error" dialog open on my desktop stating "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application". I call on the fellow members to see if they have ever seen this one before. It is absolutely a new one on me. As always I appreciate all your assistance.

  2. The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.

    Kapil,

    The uninstall/reinstall of Office2013 seems to have cured the problem. My MSOutlook 2013 calendar and contacts are now back syncing with my iPhone through iTunes.

    Many thanks,

    Paul

  3. The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.

    Andre,

    this was indeed what happened so I didn't need to draw on the registry export file I used. Of course it also makes me realise that Microsoft's 'uninstall' is not a true uninstall in that it leaves lots of stuff still on the machine. In this case it's useful,
    but I guess if it was a registry entry that had been causing the problem, then an uninstall wouldn't have helped. A good learning for me.

    KRs

    !! You'll need your license to reactivate !!!

    If you have MS Office installed, try this:

    Launch Programs and Features
    Right click Windows menu
    "The operating system is not presently configured to run this app" [​IMG]
    on the taskbar, pick Programs and Features
    - OR-
    WinKey+R and type appwiz.cpl in the run boxScroll down to Microsoft Office
    Select Repair
    Note MSO 2013, 365, and 2016 choose Full Repair.

    It takes a while
    Restart your machine when the repair finishes
    Open any MSO app and answer the activation question

    A few search results mention disabling the Microsoft Office ClickToRun in services.msc

    Others mention that it takes a full uninstall using MS tools and possible manual deletion of MSO related folders
    Here's a good post on Kapersky that describes the brute force method
    Error The operating system is not presently configured to run this application - Kaspersky Lab Forum

    but try the repair first.

  5. I couldn't recall which app(s), besides OneNote, were placed in the MSO arena.

    The Mail and Calendar apps are grouped in with MSO - perhaps they're the cause.

    Try updating or uninstalling/reinstalling both of those UniApps.
