You may be facing the above issue due to the presence of virus/malware or due to any of the third party software installed on your PC.



Method 1: I suggest you to scan your PC for virus/malware by running the Windows defender software. Run the anti-virus software twice to detect and confirm any malware/virus on your PC and check if the issue is resolved.
