    Hi,

    **Method 1:**I would suggest you to perform SFC scan and check if it helps. To do so, please refer to the following article. The SFC /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. For more information how to do SFC/ scan, please follow this link:

    You may refer the following link for more information.

    Method 2: Let’s create a new Windows user account and then try to install Java check if this issue occurs with the new user account. Refer the link to create a new user account.

    ‘Create a user account’

    If the issue does not exist in new user account then, try to fix the corrupted profile follow the steps mentioned in the following article.

    Hi,

    Let’s give full permission to the WebClient service from registry and then try to start the WebClient service and check if that helps. Follow the steps to give permission to WebClient registry key.

    a)    Click on Start and choose Run.

    b)    Type in ‘regedit’ and select OK.

    c)    Navigate to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient

    d)    Right-click on WebClient and click on permissions.

    e)    Click ok to confirm UAC elevation request.

    f)    Select user/group from permission windows or click ‘add’ to add other user or group.

    g)    Now under permission section check the rights which you want to grant i.e. check “Full Control” under the “Allow” column to assign full access rights control permissions to Administrators group.

    h)    Click OK for changes to take effect and click ok final ok to exit from Properties window.

    Refer the following link for more information to give permissions.

    Note: Modifying REGISTRY settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of REGISTRY settings can be solved. Modifications of these settings are at your own risk.

    I would suggest you to backup the registry before performing the steps. Refer the following link to backup the registry.
