[HotCakeX]

This is like the other issue you created, it is suggesting that something on your system is causing this. What 3rd party security solution/AV do you have or used to have?

[HotCakeX]

Since at the point of creating this issue, you confirmed that you had McAfee AV and that was causing the other issue, it's safe to say this is responsible for it too. However, if you made sure that AV is no longer present, by clean installing the OS or resetting and still experience this issue, please comment here and reopen it so we can investigate further. Thank you!
