    @Eleni Karassellos
    Hi,

    There are 2 causes for this error, including:

    1: system reserved partition is full. Microsoft says some third-party anti-virus and security apps write to the system reserved partition, which could fill the partition up.
    2: File system of system reserved partition runs in error.

    You may refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
