Can no longer install software after latest windows 10 update
I completed the latest Windows 10 cumulative update yesterday (the 14th of June). Everything seemed to go smoothly, the system rebooted, etc.
I have several external hard drives - one of which is where I keep all of the software downloads/updates. After this Windows 10 update, I am no longer able to install software of any nature. All I keep getting is this error message:
Looking at that error message I checked all of UAC, Firewall, and Anti Virus settings (AVG), and nothing in their settings is preventing me from installing software. I then did a reboot into safe mode and ran the Tweaking.com - Windows Repair Tool which is an excellent piece of software. Even after this (which usually fixes most windows issues), the same issue remains. I cannot install any type of software.
As a last resort, I even assigned a new drive letter - changing it from H to S. But even then, I get the same error message.
I then checked all of my permissions - they're all good. Yet my system is now preventing me from installing or updating any software at all.
Any suggestions or fixes?
Thanks,
Ben Herrmann
