Hi tpoliti.

 

If yes, right-click start, click command prompt (admin), launch:

dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth

It should last few seconds, then report the final result here.

After it, launch:

sfc /scannow

It should last 15-50 minutes.

If the final result is different from Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations and Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log, launch this command:

copy %SYSTEMROOT%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt && findstr /c:"[SR]" %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt > %userprofile%\desktop\SR.txt

After it, you should find two files on your desktop: cbs.txt and SR.txt.

Post here the sr.txt (you can upload it here or on another website, or copy/paste all the lines).

If the command won't work, try these, one after the other (one by one):

copy %SYSTEMROOT%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt
findstr /c:"[SR]" %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt > %userprofile%\desktop\SR.txt
