Hey Praduman - sorry to jump in here, but could you try navigating to this file from a web browser and try to open it from there?

 

Do you still the same error?

 

Also, do you have a Microsoft account as well where you're logged in on your device?

    Happy Monday Praduman!

     

    I can see that we had an older, similar thread here. 

     

    Would you mind following the fix that one of our users (@MrBeanley) suggested, and then let me know if the error remains?
