    Hi sunilyadavbobbili,

    Would you mind sending a screenshot of the error, so I can take a closer look? What triggers the error? Were you trying to copy, move or rename files when the error popped up? Check if you the error occurs when using another user profile. If you need to create a new user profile, you may do so. This will eliminate the probability of having a corrupted user profile which could be the cause of the issue. 

    Create a new user profile with administrator privileges or if you have a spare admin account, you can log in to that account and create a new user account. Once you have verified that the issue was due to a corrupted user profile, you can transfer your data from the old user account to the newly created one.

    If you need further assistance with transferring your data from the old account, just let me know.
