For the past days I had an issue with the msiexec.exe when I tried to install different MSI based programms (like the newest Java update).
Every installation fails almost instantly and I get "error: 0x80040154" with event ID 1015 in event viewer.
I already enabled logging of the Msi Installer and every log looks something like this:

I already tried reregistering the installer, which did not work and the ImagePath key is set correctly.
The installer service is also enabled.
The DISM commands and sfc /scannow in the elevated command prompt came back with no corruption detected.
The latest update for Windows 10 is also installed.

The problem first appeared after Windows had to do a self repair after crashing repeatedly with bluescreens and the error "system thread exception not handled", which resolved the crashing issue.

I am currently running out of options and I really don't know what to do anymore, does anyone else have an idea what to do?
