Solution Steps

  1. 1 Press Windows key + R, type 'sysdm.cpl', and press Enter. In System Properties, go to the 'System Protection' tab and click 'Create'. Name the restore point 'Before Event Pair Fix' and click Create. This protects your system in case something goes wrong.
  2. 2 Press Windows key + X and select 'Windows Terminal (Admin)' or 'Command Prompt (Admin)'. Click Yes. This gives you the necessary permissions to run repair commands.
  3. 3 Run 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. This will check for and repair corrupted system files. It may take 15-20 minutes. Let it finish completely.
  4. 4 After SFC, run 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' and press Enter. This repairs the Windows image. It can take up to 30 minutes. This ensures the system files are healthy.
  5. 5 Restart your computer. After reboot, try to reproduce the error. If it persists, check if the problematic application has an update. Visit the software vendor's website and download the latest version.
  6. 6 If the error continues, perform a clean boot to identify if a background service is interfering. Press Windows key + R, type 'msconfig', and press Enter. In the System Configuration window, go to the 'Services' tab, check 'Hide all Microsoft services', then click 'Disable all'. Go to the 'Startup' tab and click 'Open Task Manager'. Disable all startup items. Restart the computer and test. If the error is gone, enable services one by one to find the culprit.
