[GRASS-user] Grass Start Up Error

Hello,
Can someone help me out here, each and every time I start GRASS GIS 7.6.1 or any other version in my machine, I get this error:

Cleaning up temporary files…
Starting GRASS GIS…
ERROR: Invalid return code from GUI startup script.
Please advise GRASS developers of this error.
Exiting…
Press any key to continue . . .

Please I need some help to be able to use the software.
Thanks.
