Files in System 32 do not work

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

This issue may arise due to some accidently made change to system files or virus/malware infection. I suggest you to follow the below given methods and check if it helps:

Method 1:

If SFC scan is not working, I suggest you to try running DISM tool and check if it helps. To do so, kindly follow 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.

Method 2:

If issue persist, I suggest you to try running Startup repair from Advance boot option. It may ask you to insert the Installation DVD/USB while doing startup repair. You have to create an installation media for that. You may download an ISO from the below
link:

(Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool " in the above article for creating the tool).
