How to install rclone mount on Windows 10?

I followed the instructions mentioned on the main site by opening the CMD and typing this command line,

C:\Users\***\OneDrive\Desktop\rclone-v1.51.0-windows-amd64>rclone mount gdrive: E:

where gdrive is the name of the remote and E: is my local drive. After the execution an error message popped up which reads,

Cannot create WinFsp-FUSE file system: mount point in use.
2020/04/15 18:31:29 ERROR : Google drive root '': Mount failed
2020/04/15 18:31:29 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: mount stopped before calling Init: mount failed

Acknowledging that I have installed the winfps-1.6 on my local system drive C: and that's all what I have done so far. As a non-programmer I would like to know what I have messed up in this procedure and how to get rclone to mount?

Okay, at first I didn't notice my mistake in specifying the destination path where I should locate the mounted folder. In easy words, the mounting point or the destination in the syntax

mount sourceFile destinationFile

should always contain at least one folder after a specified local drive. For instance, the command,

rclone mount gdrive: E:/Newfolder

allows to mount the hole google drive gdrive to a folder NewFolder located in the local drive E: without any errors,

The service rclone has been started.

In my case, I had created an empty folder for my mount, but this was wrong; rclone will create the folder on its own.
