1. Check your antivirus

According to users, sometimes your antivirus can cause this problem, especially if it’s not fully compatible with Windows 10. Many users reported that this problem occurred with Avast antivirus, but after removing it, the issue was resolved completely. Keep in mind that you might not be able to access Windows 10 normally due to this problem, so you might have to use Safe Mode to remove Avast. Once you enter Safe Mode, be sure to uninstall Avast or the antivirus that you’re using and check if that solves the problem. Keep in mind that antivirus tools might leave behind certain files and registry entries that can cause the problem to reappear. To completely remove an antivirus, it’s recommended to use a dedicated removal tool. Most antivirus companies offer dedicated removal tools for their software, so be sure to download one for your antivirus. Once you completely remove your antivirus, check if the problem is resolved. If your antivirus was the problem, you might want to consider switching to a different antivirus solution. One of the most compatible and trusted antivirus solutions for Windows 10 you could consider trying is ESET Internet Security. With the multi-layered protection functionality, your PC is continuously monitored even when it is connected to the internet and blocks any malicious activity that may cause damage to your PC. An intuitively simple interface allows you to identify security concerns at a glimpse, which can be resolved immediately from the interface, such as installing Windows updates.
