Microsoft .NET Framework Error

Question

Hi there,

I have been getting this same error message pop up every time I turn on my laptop. I have attempted to solve this myself by downloading the latest Framework software and also using the Microsoft Repair Tool but nothing seems to be working. The text below is the message that is attached to the error. Can anyone help me?

See the end of this message for details on invoking 

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William, I’m an Independent Advisor. I'll be happy to help you out today.

The issue is not specifically related to .NET, but instead a .NET-based program, which appears to be--based on some of the file paths above--something called HotKey. It likely runs are part of a Startup program, so you can open the Task Manager > go to the Startup tab > and select the related program to disable it to avoid the error at launch. Alternatively, you can also uninstall it by running appwiz.cpl. If it is something you use, then reinstall it, as that should fix whatever issue it is encountering.
