Whenever I access the File Manager menu, I encounter the following error. What should I do?

how to fix?

"I have multiple Windows servers. I encounter this issue frequently. Each time it occurs, I usually resolve it by updating the version, which fixes the problem. However, for this particular server, I can’t update the version any further. Therefore, I would like to know how to fix the issue without updating.

Plesk ObsidianVersion 18.0.70

I don't see the full path but I do see it's point to D:\ instead of C. The default path is on the C drive. If you moved the files manually and updated everything to point to the D drive instead and created a shortcut (aka a symlink) then you will run into that. Ideally if you need to have the files on a different drive is to use the plesk reconfigure to have it reconfigured to the new location or create the proper junction to the new path from the original path with the proper permissions and everything.
