    accidentally renamed file extensions in system32 folder, wont startup

    hello everyone, i ran a command that was suppose to rename every file extension in a folder to the jpg file, but forgot that the default folder was system32 in cmd. I even ran CMD as admin, so it renamed quite a few. After restarting my computer obviously failed to start up. I tried windows repair but it couldnt fix it.

    Is there any way on getting access to the system32 folder on the windows 10 iso? so i can copy those files back?

    So example of the issue would be a file named dog.dll is now dog.jpg.


    Thanks in advance!

    :/ i dont get this doe ?

    okay ive done the same thing as you but i cant put the file back into the folder

    • Copy nvlddmkm.sys in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_5518e59e8d3b48f4\ to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ and replace the existing one.
