Method 1: Run the SFC.
System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.
Follow the below steps:
- Right click on the Start button, click on Command Prompt (Admin).
- Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit Enter.
- After the scan, restart the computer.
- Now check for the issue.
Method 2: Run the DISM Tool.
If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files.
- Right click on the Start button, click on Command Prompt (Admin).
- In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:
- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
- To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.
Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.
