Hi Les,
This issue might occur due to incorrect system file settings.
Let us follow these methods and check if this helps.
Method 1.
You may reset the Internet Explorer settings to default and check if this helps.

- Type “inetcpl.cpl” and click ok to get the “Internet Options” window.
- Click the “Advanced” tab and click “reset”.
Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.
Method 2.
You may run the SFC scannow tool and check if the issue persists. SFC /scannow is a super-useful command you can use in any Windows version. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the /scannow switch, the tool will scan all of the important Windows files on your computer and replace them as necessary. Missing and corrupt operating system files (like many DLL files) are arguably the biggest cause of major Windows issues.
Refer to these steps to perform a SFC scan:
a) Press Windows key + X, select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated command prompt.
b) In the command prompt type the following command: sfc /scannow and press enter.
c) After the scan, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
Once the scan is done, restart the computer and ensure that the computer is up to date with the latest Windows Updates.
