cannot open, save, copy, or move files - error code 8003

Hi there,

I cannot open, save, copy, or move files and I have error code 8003 after using my mac for a few hours.

I solve it when I reboot and Option-Command-P-R (sometimes I have to use SMC trick) but comes back a few hours later or the day after.

This happens since my upgrade to Catalina...

Thanks in advance for you help.
