Windows 10: I am trying to fix corrupted system files, but I am having trouble using command prompt to...

Recently I have had a lot of crashes with my PC and I have finally narrowed it down to corrupted system files. I used "sfc /scannow" and it could not repair the files as the source files were also corrupted. I have tried taking ownership with Command Prompt but it has problems. This is a copy paste from one of my attempts to take ownership of a System Service Model file. "C:\Windows\system32>TAKEOWN /? C:\Program Files\ReferenceAssemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\System.ServiceModel.dll ERROR: Invalid argument/option - 'C:\Program'. Type "TAKEOWN /?" for usage. "I have received clean files

Please perform the below steps and see if it helps to resolve the issue.

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Hope this information helps. Please post us if you need any further assistance with Windows.

Thank you.

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
