However, in certain condition of used, OFS can be installed on a computer where no internet connection is available.
Therefor, OFS won’t start or start with a long period of wait.

SetReg Tool 1

The involved registry key is the DWORD State key under :

KEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing

This is the Key registry for the current user. If your OFS is launched by a specific user, please do the same on this specific user registry key.
