At the end of January 2021, there was already one informal fix for this error. But as an administrator, nobody wants unofficial fixes. Then, in late February 2021, it appeared that Microsoft was preparing one information for the NTFS error.
Bleeping Computer first noticed that Microsoft included a docs-free fix in Windows 10 Insider build 21322 that prevented access to the path that triggered the error. The bug now appears to have been fixed on all supported versions of Windows 10 with its security updates April 13, 2021.
However, to date there is nothing in the official description of the updates. Probably Microsoft forgot to mention it…
