Yes same issue as (almost) everyone else who posted recently in this thread.

frustrating - it should not be, because the solution was posted several times in this forum thread

Appears to be the windows 10 update KB4338819 bug which Microsoft superseded with a second update 6 days later: KB4345421.

Please check your windows updates and pick up the later one. you should be able to download it and apply it manually - if it does not auto update
