Garmin Express 4.0.19.0 - "error syncing with Garmin Connect." - Forerunner 220

I am having problems syncing my Forerunner 220 (ver 3.10) with Garmin Connect.
It all started after I have updated my Workouts on my web page and wanted to sync it with the device.
Sync fails every time and after I unlock the watch from the USB cradle I see on the watch "Updating...", however, the sync failed.

Please help. I am attaching the failing log:

An error that I was able to pull from the log you attached indicates "Illegal characters in path". When sending the Workout from Connect it is stored in "C:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService\Devices\(unit id)\Sync\Download\FIT_TYPE_5" folder and then transferred to your device in the (drive letter)\Garmin\NEWFILES folder.

Trying deleting these folders and sending the Workout again. If you still experience trouble, please contact product support.

The entire device area (drive letter)\Garmin\ was only files (no folders) with garbled characters, so I figured something is totally wrong.
I fixed my problem by going to Factory Defaults from the device, loosing my last workout which was not synced.

Thank you for your support,
Lucian.
