Error status 0xc0000006

Every time I login I get the message:

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.10586.20_none_db007f1392e69ef4\gdiplus.dll is either not designed for Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or
contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000006.

If I look at this file, it was modified on 12-08-2015.

Since I don’t know what program uses this file I have no way of fixing it.

Any suggestions?

Try uninstalling Xbox in Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Xbox Live > Uninstall. Restart PC and reinstall from Microsoft Store app > Hub (three dots at top right) > My Library.

Run System File Checker from Step 10 in this checklist:

If that doesn't help then I'd run a Repair Install by installing Media Creation Tool to choose Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping your files, programs and most settings in place. It also advances you to the newest version which you need anyway,
and by the most stable method.
