Talking about the most common cause for this error is that the game or application can’t access all the required files and services because it doesn’t have admin privileges. For example, when any application which doesn’t have admin privileges and it tries to access services and files it gets blocked by a firewall which can lead to this error.
In this solution we will give our game or application admin privileges and check if that solves the problem for us. In order to Run the program with Administrator Credentials simply follow the steps down below.

Solution #2 Ending the Program
Task Manager is a windows integrated tool that allows the user to monitor applications and their usage in the background in real-time. Every time when you launch a program and you close it. It would still be running in the background (e.g an update service, uTorrent).
If you try to run the program again it will still show the same error because it will start from the last place. In this solution, we will kill its usage from the background. We will end the program using Task Manager and run it as Administrator. In order to do that just follow these steps down below.

Many times the game or app itself have problems. Its patch files could get corrupted during an update or in between a game session. All these corrupted files can lead to this error.
