    Windows system files all over my pc


    1 Dozens of api-ms-win-core-somefile.dll are spread over my c:\ahk folder which unfortunately happens to be my, alphanumerically, FIRST folder in my system drive c: but which was meant for AutoHotkey, NOT for windows system files. I cannot understand that Windows obviously, with some update put all these system folders in an obviously non-Windows-system folder, just because it happens to be first, alphabetically. I now fear that I will crash my windows installation if I try to put them somewhere, or to rename c:\AHK to c:\A, and then putting my Autohotkey files in there elsewhere.2 Similar

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    Method 1:

    This issue may occur due to some system file corruption.

    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.
    Method 2:

    If issue persist, I suggest you to create
    a new account by following the below given steps and check if everything works fine in new account:

    • Press Windows key + X key and select
      Control Panel.

    • Click on User Account and then click on Manage Accounts.
