How can I solve a browserextension.dll error I keep getting when I load windows - browser-extension

I've been getting this error and I haven't been able to figure out how to solve it. I can't find any online info on this. I had Malwarebyte installed, and I think it quarantined some files that I might have deleted without realizing it.
This error loads each time I start up my PC.
Barring having to reinstall windows does anyone have any idea how to correct this error? I can't recall what software may have installed this. THanks.

Cannot install Chocolatey on Windows 10 version 1903

I recently upgraded my Windows 10 to version 1903, but after some issue and contacting Microsoft technical support, I've reset my Windows. Now I'm trying to reinstall everything that was installed before reset and one of them is Chocolatey (The package manager for Windows).
I tried running both installation command:
(for cmd)
#"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
(for PowerShell)
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
but every time I get this error:
Exception calling "Start" with "0" argument(s): "The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS
platform."

sion = 'true' and call install again. Error: 7-Zip signalled an unknown error (code )
I also tried downloading the install.ps1 scripts and running it manually (after setting execution policy to bypass, for sure), but the result was the same as above. Worth mentioning that I ran both cmd and PowerShell as administrator for installation. By the way, I didn't try offline installation yet, because I cannot figure out what the instruction says.
Googling the error didn't help me find a solution.
I had this same problem (at least the message was exactly the same). I was installing chocolatey in a more controlled environment, that is, some parts of the scripts are not allowed to be performed by some security policy reason.
The error is that on line 192 of the PowerShell, it's attempted to download an EXE file:
Download-File 'https://chocolatey.org/7za.exe' "$7zaExe"
This is not allowed in my environment, so as I have the Zip already installed on my Windows, I just copy the and renamed the needed file (7az.exe) to the folder that the install.ps1 (Powershell script) was looking for.
In my case:
C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey\chocInstall\7za.exe
So, having the ZIP exe file at this path, with this name, everything worked.
Cheers

How to resolve "Install-Package : The current environment doesn't have a solution open."

I have a solution having 1 project.
Open Package Manager Console, run Install-Package MSBuildTasks
But it gave me an error below:
Install-Package : The current environment doesn't have a solution open.
At line:1 char:16
+ Install-Package <<<< MSBuildTasks

Command
I don't understand why it comes. Kindly suggest me waiting for reply. Thanks
I usually get this error because I created or opened a project (.csproj or other) that doesn't have a saved solution (.sln) associated with it.
If you go to File->Save All it should offer to save the solution somewhere. Save it and that makes the error go away for me.

How do I Enable Migrations in the Package Manager Console?

I'm trying to enable migrations in MVC4, Entity Framework 5.00, however when I input the command it throws the following error:

any and all help would be appreciated.
Running migrations from a network path is unsupported.
EF Team Triage: The migrations commands require full trust to run. Because you are running from a network share it looks like you are running in a lower trust level. In the past we have made the decision that the migrations commands would require full trust because it reduces the complexity of the implementation.
http://entityframework.codeplex.com/workitem/856
This means you have to put your project on a local drive, then you'll be able to run migrations.
It turns out that #Stijn's answer is indeed correct, However it doesn't provide a solution to the problem, the solution is to simple copy and paste the entire project into your Hard Drive and the command will work

Error Setting Default Scaffolder

I have a solution that uses NuGet to manage packages, and I also use the Package Manager Console for Entity Framework Migrations. Everything has worked fine for around a year.
This morning I removed a few projects from the solution as part of a reorganization. Now when I open the Package Manager Console, I am greeted with the error message

What is causing this, and how can I fix it?
I installed Visual Studio 2012 SP2 a day or so after posting this issue, and it resolved itself.
Unsure whether SP2 fixed the underlying issue or just reset something, but either way the problem is resolved.
