Disable Fast Startup:
The Fast Startup feature allows a computer to boot up much faster after a proper shutdown. The reason is that it puts the system in hibernation mode rather than shutting it down. It is usually enabled by default if the system hardware can execute fast startup.
After experiencing the error ourselves, we found out that not shutting the system entirely can cause faults with crucial system files in hibernation mode. Thus, we disabled Fast Startup, which resolved the error for us.
- Opening Power Settings: Click on Search > Type power settings > Click on Power and Sleep settings.
