Windows 10: "WerFault .exe - Bad Image" error on startup

Iv had this HP laptop for some time now, and i haven't had any issues untill recently. I left Google running for a week because I forgot to turn my laptop off before heading out on vacation. When I returned I found that the laptop had not gone to sleep and the screen resolution was completely messed up. Unable to click on the start menu, I resorted to holding down the power button untill the machine shut off. After rebooting the computer the machine starts up normally untill the blue windows 10 "please wait" startup begins, at that point am greeted with this error code:


WerFault .exe - Bad Image


C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0. 18362. 1016_none_9e7a36bbe461dae4\Comctl32.dll is either not desighned to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000006.


After clicking "ok" windows attempts to boot again, however after a few seconds the error reappears. I am unable to view the desktop or log in. I attempted to hard reset by pressing the F11 key and hard resetting eliminating all files but I only receive another error saying that it was "unable to hard reset due to an error". And it seems that now I am unable to access the F11, with the computer ignoring my input and proceeding the the Bad Image error again.


I'm not the best at computers when it comes to this kind of stuff, but if anybody is aware of any fixes, or if I have to replace the hard drive or something, any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

For us to better assist you, we'd like to know the following:

• Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
• Click OK.

• Were there any recent changes made prior to this issue?

Furthermore, a bad Image error occurs if there's an interruption to the system process or a corrupted file that affects the system. To isolate the issue, we suggest that you run the
System File Checker (SFC) tool. It's a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows
system files and restore corrupted files.
