    I just deleted the file in that path. It seems everything worked normally afterward. (You may need to tick the "show hidden files, folder, or drives" from File Explorer Options if you can’t find it directly)

    Download the newest version of Kotlin from here

    then replace the Kotlin file in this directory with the one you downloaded "C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingGoogleAndroidStudio2021.2plugins"

    I went to Menu Tools > Kotlin > Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates in Android Studio. The dialog shows message A new Version 212-1.7.10-release-333-AS5457.46 is availible and an Update Button below the message. After Update and Restart the error was gone.
