Some third party system tools are installing filter drivers within Windows, that are hooking system calls. The error message doesn't deliver a clue what went wrong. In a really bad case, the setup wizard doesn't drop a warning, and a feature upgrade or an update installation stalls with error 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG, or ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER).
I have covered this case within my blog post Windows 10 Anniversary Update: inkompatible Apps (VPC), and I discussed, how to identify the app manually. We have a recommendation to uninstall an app, but the app isn't named. But in some cases the message is pretty cryptically – as show below. Sometimes setup.exe provided in install media (created via Media Creation Tool) warns and recommends to uninstall app xyz. In worst case, a feature upgrade stalls with an error or is refused due to an non compatible app. Non compatible software as a show stopper
In best case, a software refuse to run (this was the case with StarMoney 9 in Windows 10 Version 1607). The source of this problem is "Windows as a service" – the operating system will be upgraded two or three times a year. Users of Windows 10 are facing many errors caused by outdated software.
