How to fix the error "Cannot write Configuration file" while changing any site bindings

Question

whenever I try to change any site bindings I get the error below:

Filename: \\?\C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Error: Cannot write configuration file

1. The disk space is enough.
2.checked the permissions on the applicationHost.config file, no problem with that too.

Would like to know what is the problem and fix for this!
