So I've got my laptop for a while now with Windows 11 working just fine, but then i tried installing windows desktop runtime and it just keeps displaying that the Windows installer service couldn't be accessed. I've tried everything i know but still the problem isnt fixed. Any help would be appreciated

    A repair installation using the ISO should fix the problem. See:

    Were you able to start the service successfully?

    Open Services.msc and start the "Windows Installer" service.

    If you get an error message, please post it here.
