    Hi, CaptBob(2)

    My name is Maritza and I am an Independent Advisor. I would be happy to help you today.

    Perform the procedure to repair the system files:

    Follow these instructions: press the Windows + X keys and select Command Prompt (Administrator) or Windows PowerShell (Administrator), in the window that will open, you must type the commands in their respective order:

    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    • DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    • sfc /scannow

    Each of these actions can take a few minutes, so it is important to execute one at a time. When finished, you must restart the PC.

    Let us know if these steps help you to resolve the issue.
