Q6600150 - When I start the ActiveXperts Network Monitor Engine service, I get the following error: "CoInitializeSecurity failed, error 0x800706C6". What is the problem?

The CoInitializeSecurity function is an internal call used by ActiveXperts. It is responsible for setting up secure communication between software components. In some cases, Windows may return error code 0x800706C6 after a Windows update This issue has been fixed in version v.2025 of the software (and above). We recommend upgrading the software to the latest version.
