Out of the box Approval Workflow errors out

Recent issues with custom workflow led to testing out of the box basic functionalty. I set up the most basic approval process on a test document library and everything functioned properly until the approver approved the document. After checking logs, event errors I found nothing that really gave me an idea on how to fix it.

I called good ole' microsoft support and they are aware of this issue, however they have an unpublished internal article with the fix.

The Solution:
Document Library Settings > Workflow settings > Click on your active workflow > Next > Uncheck the Post-Completion Workflow Activities check box!

Rerun your workflow and you will be error free.
