I recently purchased a new Asus desktop computer with Windows 10 pre installed.

After a week I was getting a box with the message Failed to connect to a Windows Service. Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client Service. This problem prevents standard users from signing in.

I tried all the regular scans which did not fix it.

After getting nowhere with Ausu and PC World. I stared to uninstall the software one by one. I eventually found that Windows Live Mail was causing the problem. Once I uninstalled it the error box did not return.

I have a laptop with Windows 10 on which I can run Windows Live Mail.

Why is it causing a problem on my desktop ?
