Ummm...actually all the procedures you're saying i already did it, that's why I'm here because I don't know what to do anymore on how to fix it.

Let's try a system restore: 

 

1) Save any open files and close all open programs.

2) In Windows, search for restore, and then open Create a restore point from the results list.

3) On the System Protection tab, click System Restore.

4) Click Next.

5) Click the Restore Point that you want to use, then click Next.

6) Click Finish to restore your computer to a previous point.

7) Do not interrupt System Restore when it starts. This can corrupt your hard drive and create more problems. 😎 Click Yes in the warning that appears.

9) System Restore returns the computer configuration to a previous point in time and restarts.

 

PS: Performing a system restore will not delete any files.

Umm...it says there that there is no restore point created on this drive, so maybe we could try other steps.

Let's do a SFC scan: 

 

Type cmd in the Start search box. In the result, which appears, right click on cmd and select Run As Administrator.

 

In the command prompt window which opens, type sfc /scannow and hit Enter.

 

Let me know what happens 🙂
