    Hi,

    It appears that there are corrupted system files on your computer. We suggest that you run System File Checker to repair missing or corrupted system files.

    • Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the Command Prompt, type the command sfc /scannow and press ENTER.
    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    If the issue persists, we suggest to follow the steps on how to perform
    DISM
    to fix Windows errors here.
