Or Command Prompt (Admin)
Say yes when prompted
A blue or black window will pop up where you can type commands

So click Y for Yes and then restart your PC
Windows will take a little longer to start up whilst its running this command.
If it finishes without any errors then use your PC as normal and test to see if this has fixed the issue
If it reports any errors run the command again until there are no more errors reported. If it persists in reporting errors please let us know
If this completes without any errors but you are still having problems with your system move on to the next step

If it finishes without any errors or finds errors but fixes them move to next step
Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
This will fix any corrupt files but also download any missing files it needs
Once complete run SFC /Scannow
Once completed with no errors your Windows installation should be repaired
