U need to grab Malewarebytes and use it. To it sounds like you have a virus of some sort that is eating away at your os install.

That's not something that comes with windows. It could be a virus or just a file missing from a program.  Download this and run a scan just to be safe.: https://www.malwarebytes.org/

 

 

Its origin not windows i had this error
