Hello, I would run a scan with system file checker.  To do so, try the following instructions:-- click on windows orb-- type cmd in search box-- in results, highlight cmd.exe -- right click on it and select Run as administrator -- once command prompt opens, type the following: sfc /scannow -- let scan finish-- make sure to have your installation disk handy.
