ive already did the "sfc \scannow " in an elevated command prompt. it didt work. it wouldnt even start the scan. is there any way that i can download an update that will replace it/ fix the problem onto a flash drive? i need a real technical answer. because ive already looked at all the other ways that talk about fixing it in the forums, and none of those worked. thanks myles
