HELP :tazz: I was trying to clean up our c drive and have either moved (I hope :)) or deleted :) the files that let me add and remove programs, and then when I went to the Help program it said "windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not running to fix this problem, start the service named 'help and Support".

Can someone help or is this the wrong forum?

Click start then run, type services.msc then press enter, look for help and support, double click then set start up to automatic, click apply, click start then OK

We will not help you anywhere on this forum, as you do not have a legal copy of Windows, or a legitimate product key.
