).
Without covering the details mentioned in the Microsoft support web page, the solution involves deleting two
registry keys in the host computer. This procedure should only be done by someone comfortable with Windows
registry backups and editing. These registry keys can be deleted via the following command console instructions:
REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Security /f
REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\{ce166e40-1e72-45b9-94c9-3b2050e8f180} /f
Reboot the computer after execution.
