Hi Roman,

The issue might be caused if the System Files are corrupted. So, I suggest you to follow the methods provided below and check if it helps.

Method 1: Run SFC (System File Checker) scan.

  1. Right clink on Start button and select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.
  2. Type “sfc /scannow” and press Enter.
  3. After the scan is complete, type “exit” and press Enter.

Method 2: Run the DISM Tool.

  1. Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt(admin).
  2. Type the following commands in command prompt one by one and press Enter after each command.  

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Method 3: Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

  1. Type “Troubleshooting” in search box and press Enter.
  2. Click on View all on top left pane.
