This might be a bug. However, it could also be due to system files that Windows needs to operate correctly. If it's not affecting your system's performance, it might not be a critical issue. If you're still concerned, consider contacting Microsoft Support for further assistance.

Nope. But I don't use disk cleanup tool. I do this from the settings app, it's working fine there.

It's a known bug for many users who updated from 23H2 to 24H2. I also had this issue and then later I reinstalled 24H2 from scratch and don't have it anymore.

Try this and see if it finishes without any error,
"Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase"
(Note for other people: When you do this you can't revert an update anymore till the next windows update).
For me even this was failing after going from 23H2 to 24H2.

I clean installed 24H2 a and still the cleanup bug and broken StartComponentCleanup. :(
I had this kind of an error in Windows 24H2 after a windows update not so long ago. But in that case, to an unrelated incident my whole PC was frozen/hanged, so I had to forcefully restart the PC using the power button before I could normally restart the PC to complete the update. After restarting, the update was completed but DISM cleanup was broken. Then a few days ago received another windows update and after that everything is back to normal now.
