Task Host is stopping background tasks (\Microsoft\Windows\Plug and Play\Device Install Reboot required)

Hello community,

I have a MBP 15 inch 2017 and am having constant problems on the Bootcamp side. While Booting and logging into Windows many times when I hit the Windows key (command key) the whole machine is hung. Everytime I go to reboot it I get the below error. During the same time I lose Bluetooth keyboard connectivity. Looking for help!

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, Windows 10, Creator Build 1709

Do you have any third-party file system software? It can cause problems, if volumes are mounted/locked.

Remove any personal information as you see fit, and post the output of

sudo tmutil destinationinfo

Is there only one Mac which uses this specific destination?
