    Accidentally deleted a file, now getting an error everytime I boot my laptop


    I get an error message saying windows can't find "uifftjhj.exe"... This happened after I accidentally deleted something which apparently I wasn't supposed to delete (It's a long story...). If anyone knows how I can get rid of the error whenever I turn on my pc please share the info

    Edit: Including the full story for full context:

    Sometime ago I tried downloading something off the internet (dont really remember exactly what) but the download was from a shady website... So i download the program and run it thinking my antivirus was activated but it actually wasn't, it was new and i hadn't activated it properly. The thing i installed started throwing ads at me from every direction... I know, my bad for installing things when im not sure if theyre legit... Anyway I uninstalled whatever that was and searched for any files that were left behind and deleted those as well (I searched for anything modified on that day since there wasn't anything I had done then before that). And thats when I started getting the error...

    Deleted BCD file unknowingly

    I deleted BCD file used in booting accidentally. I do not have a CD drive in my laptop and I did not get any additional cd when I bought the laptop. Looks like the Windows hibernate has saved something in a drive and everytime i try to boot, i says i cannot
    find the boot medium.

    accidentally deleted path variable

    Hi,

    Corrupted file system may be the reason why you're unable to perform system restore. To assist you better, we'd like to know if did you get any error messages when you tried to perform the system restore.

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps to do the Repair Mode:

    • Tap F8 at boot time.
    • Select Repair Mode.
    • Select the System Restore option.
    • Set Windows back by a few days.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
