Hi.
You may get this problem If you don’t have the latest Windows service pack.
If you already have the latest Windows service pack
Turn on Automatic Update
>>Exit all the programs that you have running.
>>Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
>>On the Automatic Updates tab, click Automatic (Recommended), and then click OK.
>>Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
>>Type wuauclt /detectnow, and then press Enter.
After you turn on Automatic Updates, wait an hour, and then scan for updates again.

Thank you.
