So here’s how I solved this issue, open your Internet Explorer (IE) first. If it is not available, download and install the latest Internet Explorer version and then restart your system.

Now download from Microsoft’s website the KB3102810 update. Then restart the system. Install the downloaded update once your system is restarted. After completion of the setup, restart the system again.
