Getting "File System Error (-1073741819)" When installing software
Hello,
Just upgraded from windows 7 pro to windows 10 Pro.
The upgrade appears to have gone well except for the error which I will describe below.
The symptoms:
When attempting to install any software which requires administrator privileges, I am getting one of two errors.
More specifically, I was attempting to install "Speccy" to get more information about my hardware. I double clicked the installer and immediately received the following error: http://puu.sh/jzL9O/42086373b9.png
I attempted a reboot, and then after that, I did a disk cleanup and basically checked everything including the previous versions of windows. Then I rebooted again and have still received the same error.
Now when attempting to install some other software I have either received the error I show above, OR I will sometimes get the following error: http://puu.sh/jzLgj/56ab10655c.png
I have done a bunch of googling and have found zero information about those errors or how to fix them, besides "Hurrr Durr reinstall windows"
I REALLY don't want to re-install windows, and would like to fix this problem without wiping out my current installation.
Thanks for the help!
