I understand, update us as soon as you performed the suggested troubleshooting. After doing so and still the issue
persists, kindly perform a SFC and DISM. It is possible that there is a system file corruption causing the file to disappear. To run SFC and DISM, follow these steps:



Run SFC Scan: 

To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps
(Kindly perform it again for 3 times after DISM):

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.   
  

Run DISM Tool: 

To perform
DISM, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type the following command:  
  
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /scanhealth  
    
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth  
    

NOTE:
This might take a while to finish scanning.
Do not cancel.



If possible, kindly provide us the return message so that we can investigate it further.

SFC Finds Corrupt Files but is Unable to Fix

I tried your aforementioned method, rebooting 3 times, and running sfc /scannow 3 times, but with no luck I've decided to try the DISM method.

Thanks y'all!

This issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ missing system files. Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.
