Win10 Home Edition – Solve the problem that the application cannot be started because the parallel configuration of the application is incorrect (the activation context generation of “System Default Context” failed)

Win10 Home Edition – Solve the problem that the application cannot be started because the parallel configuration of the application is incorrect (the activation context generation of “System Default Context” failed)

    • System environment
    • Encounter problems
    • Tried the process
    • Solution

The day before yesterday, my girlfriend’s company computer encountered a problem: Almost all exe programs and software could not start or run.

My first solution: Just reinstall.

As a result, people found it too troublesome to reinstall one by one. So, I thought about solving this problem.

First of all, I think there should be something missing or there is something wrong with the registry. It should be possible to fix it with 360.

It turns out that 360 cannot be started! ! !

After trying several methods but to no avail, she realized that this might not be easy, so she asked her to install Sunflower and operate it remotely!

It took nearly two days of intermittent recovery. I was about to reset the system (equivalent to reinstalling the system) before I finally got it. I restored the system during the period, but failed to roll back!

This article contains three parts: system environment, problems encountered, trial and error process (more content) and solutions!

PS: There is a lot of trial and error content. You can directly view trial and error items 7-8, or view the solution!

System environment

1. The computer is a Lenovo desktop

2. The system is window 10 home version

Encountered a problem

1. Run full error:

The application cannot be started because the application's side-by-side configuration is incorrect. For more information, see the application event log, or use the command line sxstrace.exe tool.

2. Program event log error

The author searched for System Default Contex, Microsoft.Windows.IsolationAutomation and publicKeyToken=”6595b64144ccf1df” but found no results! 

Activation context generation for "System Default Context" failed. Dependent assembly Microsoft.Windows.IsolationAutomation,language=" & amp;#x2a;",processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df",type="win32",version="1.0.0.0" not found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Tried the process

Baidu (Bing) search error respectively:

The application cannot be started because the application’s side-by-side configuration is incorrect. For more information, see the application event log, or use the command line sxstrace.exe tool.

Activation context generation for “System Default Context” failed. Dependent assembly not found.

Microsoft.Windows.IsolationAutomation.

1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 is not installed

The search results are basically: missing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, regardless of whether it is the 2005, 2008, 2015 version, etc.

So I downloaded almost all versions.

The problems encountered by others may be solved, but when I double-clicked to run, I found: cannot be installed, and the error message is exactly the same! ! !

The author tried to install .net framework through the windows function, but the installation failed (of course it is now confirmed that it has nothing to do with this), and the error message was: Cannot repair member file [l:23]’MixedRealityRuntime.dll!

Reference blog: How to deal with the error “The application cannot be started because the application’s parallel configuration is incorrect.” when opening the software in Windows?

2. Another very common result is: Windows installer and Windows Modules Installer are not started

The blog believes that Windows installer and Windows Modules Installer need to be started and set to start automatically.

The author didn’t think much about it at the time. It felt reasonable and I just followed the instructions. Of course, the result was ineffective! ! !

After comparing it with my own computer, I found that the problem was not here. Moreover, normally, they should not start it, it should be started on demand!

The following is the normal configuration:

3. A female friend here sent me a message on Douyin saying that you can try using the all-purpose repair tool

The author thought it was a solution, so I downloaded it and tried it:

Microsoft Common Runtime Library Collection 2023 (08.13) August Edition – Core Peeling

A collection of commonly used runtime libraries from Microsoft, a must-have component for your computer!

Runtime library genuine repair tool

As a result, all tools cannot be run, and the error messages are exactly the same!

4. At this time, the author was a little unsure and wanted to try using security tools

So I downloaded: 360 various versions, Tinder, Tencent Butler, 2345, etc..

The result is the same, it cannot be installed! ! !

PS: Actually, the author is an in-depth user of 360!

5. Run the software in compatibility mode

The author felt that this was of no use, but I tried it anyway, and sure enough it worked!

Reference blog: How to solve the problem that some software cannot run in Win10

6. User permissions and switching users

One search result suggested that it might be a user permissions issue, so the author gave the user all permissions:


The result is still invalid and an error is reported!

  1. Restore system

Restore is a helpless move. Fortunately, the system has restore points from the previous two days.

But I don’t know why the restore failed. I tried it many times and it still failed, so I gave up!

Reference blog:

How to restore the Win10 system, how to restore the Win10 system

7. Later, I sorted out my brain and thought it was a problem with the registry. I thought about restoring the registry and try

After searching, I found that if there is no initial backup of the registry, there should be no way to restore it to the default state!

Reference blog:

How to restore the Win10 computer registry to default? Win10 registry recovery initial operation tutorial

7. Local Group Policy Editor, open local group policy

The author was full of expectations for this and thought it would solve the problem.

It turns out that win10 Home Edition does not have a local Group Policy Editor!

So I spent some time opening the Local Group Policy Editor, but it failed: An error occurred when running the registry code, I don’t know why!

Reference blog:

[Window10] Solve the problem that win10 Home Chinese version cannot find the group policy gpedit.msc and cannot modify the C drive file

8. Upgrade from home version to professional version

Continuing the above question, I think upgrading win10 Professional Edition will have a local group policy editor, and then the problem will be solved!

Refer to the blog to borrow pictures:

slmgr /ipk W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
slmgr /skms kms.03k.org
slmgr /ato

After modifying the product key through the command, the problem was actually solved! ! !

However, it may not be solved at this time, because the author did not test it after completing this step! !

9. Download and use Dism++ (Windows system management tool)

During the search process, I accidentally discovered this tool: Dism++. I didn’t have any hope.

But after trying it, I found that it can be started normally (I don’t know if it is the above operation: the upgrade of win10 home version to professional version has taken effect).


Through Programs and Features, I uninstalled the Mozilla Maintenance Service.

Then something magical happened. The problem was solved. I tried several software and programs and everything worked normally! ! !

Summary:

Due to untimely testing, the cause was completely found,

Possible reasons:

Firefox Maintenance Service A mismatched installation of Mozilla Maintenance Service is causing registry issues.

Why do you think it is Firefox? After checking the system, I found that the computer is the Firefox browser installed in the past two days. It is the most suspicious!

And as luck would have it, after uninstalling Mozilla Maintenance Service everything was back to normal!

Solution

Emphasis on possible issues:

Firefox Maintenance Service A mismatched installation of Mozilla Maintenance Service is causing registry issues.

The problem is found, and the ending solution is very simple, but the author is not 100% sure how to solve it, so here are three possible solutions!

1. Upgrade win10 home version to professional version (10%)

slmgr /ipk W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
slmgr /skms kms.03k.org
slmgr /ato

Please refer to: Essential tool: Upgrade Windows Home Edition to Professional Edition!

2. Open a command window with administrator rights and enter SFC/SCANNOW (20%).

The author accidentally tried it. Although an error was reported, it may have solved the problem!

3. Uninstall software that may cause problems (Mozilla Maintenance Service) via Dism + + 10.1.1002.1B (69%)

Since the author has not tested the previous steps, it can be run after decompressing Dism++ (of course Sunflower can also be run, but the problem may not be solved at this time).

After uninstalling Mozilla Maintenance Service with Dism++, I tested it and found that I can open the exe software. The problem has been solved!
