Kafka Transaction INVALID_PRODUCR_EPOCH Error while Commit / Abort Transaction

Question

I am facing the INVALID_PRODUCER_EPOCH error while committing or aborting the transaction. Am running the my application in Windows 10 machine. I have a single Producer and TransactionId is Random Guid, enabled Idempotence in producer as well. No other instance of the application or same TransactionId is used. When i try to Commit the transaction in case of successful message processing (or) Abort the transaction in case of failure while message processing i am getting the error.

I have disabled AutoCommit and AutoOffsetStore as well in the consumer settings

Below is the Debug log for the same

Any idea how to resolve this error?
