The System Configuration application will launch. Select the 'General' tab. Under the 'Startup Selection' category, select 'Select startup options'. Remove the check from the 'Load startup categories' box and press the 'Apply' button.

Upon clicking the 'OK' button, you will be prompted to restart your computer. Windows will restart with the minimum amount of applications running, so please try your download again.
