“dwwin.exe the application has failed to initialize because windows is shutting down”

has anyone got this problem? I googled it and it seem quite a number of people have the problem too. however, I can’t seem to find a better method than to disable it altogether.

anyone have a better solution?

edit: it seems the method I used to try and disable it didnt fix the problem, so I’m still stuck.
