Hello Becky, how are you?

Could you give more information about the problem, please?

Are you referring to Windows settings? When is this error displayed?

Share a screenshot of what exactly you see please.

First run a complete check of your operating system files, following the entire procedure below.

SFC, DISM and CHKDSK.

Use a Windows disk, file and image correction tool

On the desktop, press the Windows + X keys, and select Windows Powershell (Admin);
Copy and paste the following commands, one line at a time, followed by Enter:

sfc /scannow

dism /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

chkdsk /f /r /x

To schedule a disk check, confirm with the S key and press Enter, and restart the equipment.

*** IMPORTANT ***

This is a process that can take some time to complete.
