Hello, my name is Mario, and I would be happy to assist you with your issue.

I’m sorry for what happened!

It might be a Windows-related issue. Please try the steps below to resolve the error:

Run the following commands in the Command Prompt as Administrator:

sfc /scannow

Then:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

These commands will check for and attempt to repair any corrupted system files, including registry entries.

Please perform this procedure and let me know if it resolves the issue.

Best regards,

I'm sorry if the steps didn't work. It seems that the issue is complex than what I expected.

It may be best if I release your question to other advisors so they can take a look at it and let them share some other ways that can fix the issue.

You take care and keep safe always.
