Windows 7 A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting error code:0x80070426

[jayboy]

Hello, I have been constantly getting this message whenever I use troubleshooter...

"An error occurred while troubleshooting
A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting"

Path:C:\Windows\diagnostics\system\networking
Error code:0x80070426
Source:engine
Context:restricted

The strange thing is that when I run SFC /SCANNOW it fixes it.....TEMPORARILY

and gives me the same error whenever I restart or reboot my system.
Is there a permanent fix for this?

Hi this seems to be a very common problem if you start googling it. I'm glad I came across this thread eventually because it fixed the problem. Perhaps this should be something for the next Microsoft Update.
Thanks to all who helped solve this problem for me.

Hi,

You're very welcome! I'm glad the solution helped you.

Kind Regards.
