I just set up my new HP Omnibook laptop with Windows 11 a week ago, and now I keep getting the error message: "windows cannot find MicrosoftWindows.Client.AIX_cw5n1h2txyewy\AIXHost.exe"

What can I do to eliminate this message?

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    Please clarify the following:

    What is the current version and "OS Build" of your Windows 11?

    • Press "Windows + R", type winver, and click OK.

    If you prefer, share a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

    Be sure to censor your email address if it appears. The Microsoft Q&A is public.

    I await your reply.
