error code 0x80131700

Hi,

 

 

We can run the SFC scan to check if any system files are missing. As a next step try enabling the .NET Framework in clean boot state.

 

Method 1. SFC SCAN
Let us run the SFC scan and verify it prevents this error to occur.
Use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to determine which file is causing the issue, and then replace the file.
 
To do this, follow these steps: 
1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
sfc /scannow
The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
