Windows 10: Error Code: 0x80070002 in Event Viewer missing SvcRestartTask.xml in...

Hello, I'm getting the error 0x80070002 in event viewer every 30 seconds. I tried every possible solution posted online but the problem is that in "SoftwareProtectionPlatform" folder I only have: SvcRestartTaskLogon and SvcRestartTaskNetwork, from what I saw should have SvcRestartTask as well. Could you advise how can I fix? Thank you.Full error message: Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start at 2124-01-20T18:09:11Z. Error Code: 0x80070002.
