You should think that may be a Windows 10 problem which is affecting WER. Not the WER itself.

Try to run updates in Windows 10 without WER installed and then install WER again.

I start WER and this error occurs before the loading of WER. Not the loading from windows 10.

Windows 10 acts in ways that even expert programmers doesn't really know how.

This can occasionally happen if the WER database is not in a state that the program is happy with, or if something in the startup process of WER couldn't do what it thought it should be able to do. (which restarting WER again can sometimes help with)

You can contact your WPN representative in these instances, or log a ticket in the WotC Customer Service portal and they will likely have further recommendations on making sure that this does not happen as frequently in the future.

The last time I had this happen, it was because WER wasn't properly connected to the internet.
