Hello there,

I would suggest you following methods and check if it works:

Method 1:

Go to start , search and type:- cmd, right click on cmd.exe and select "run as administrator" at the command prompt type:-

net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice
press enter then type:
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice
press enter then type:
exit
press enter and restart your computer

Open services and make sure the service is started.

Method 2: Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) and check.
