Tenía el error 258 cuando actualicé a Windows 10, pero siguiendo estas instrucciones lo corregí. Gracias.

This solution no longer applies to me because I uninstalled a trial of CCleaner.

Hi Peter,
Do I understand you correctly that the issue is still actual after CCleaner uninstallation? Have you tried to follow recommendations from the article: https://support.abbyy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005182125?
