@Aritra15 seems that you manually edited C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs\config file and introduced an error. If you did not, then your hard drive/filesystem has an error.

If you want to manually fix this provlem, you can

1. stop IPFS Desktop and move C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs to C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs.bak
2. start IPFS Desktop and confirm a fresh C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs was created with valid config
3. stop IPFS Desktop and move C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs to C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs.fresh-and-valid
4. compare C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs.bak with C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs.fresh-and-valid and identify the difference, if you can't identify it, you can use config from .ipfs.fresh-and-valid
5. move C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs.bak to C:\Users\Asus\.ipfs and update config to a working version
