Hi, all. I have trouble updating Fix It Utilities 11 on my computer. When a small window appears showing me to update the software and I click on install there’s a “computing space requirements” appears and an error message pops up which states, “Error code 1606: Unable to access a file.” Nothing happens also when I clicked retry, the error still appears. Could you help me with this?

  • Click on the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder, and then click on the "Software" folder
  • Click on the "Microsoft" folder, then the "Windows" folder. Click on the "Current Version" folder, and then click on the "Explorer" folder.
  • Click on the "User Shell Folders" sub key. View all of the values in the table of the sub key to make sure they match the same values from the table provided by Microsoft Support in the Resources section of this article.
  • Right-click on any value that does not match the table, and click on the "Delete" option.

  • Click on the "Windows" folder, and click on the "Current Version" folder. Click on the "Explorer" folder, and click on the "User Shell Folders" sub key. View the table of values to make sure they match with the table provided by Microsoft Support as you did before. Right-click on any wrong value, and select the "Delete" option.
