Answer 1

Hi Danila,

Which edition of Windows 10 are you using -- Home or Pro?

Please open Regedit.exe and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\ScriptedDiagnostics

Delete or rename all the values in the right pane.

Answer 2

You're welcome!

Additional Info:

The equivalent GPO is

Configure Security Policy for Scripted Diagnostics: https://admx.help/?Category=Windows_10_2016&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.ScriptedDiagnostics::ScriptedDiagnosticsSecurityPolicy

Setting it to "Not configured" resolves the issue.
