This appear to be an problem by means of several corrupt system file. At the moment I would recommend you on the way to follow the steps as well as link below to carry out a System File Checker (SFC) scan as well as that be supposed to most likely take care of the problem.
1. Go to start and click ALL PROGRAMS/ Accessories now right-click Command Prompt, as well as after that click run as administrator.
2. You might be prompted for an administrator password, type the password, or else click continue.
3. Type : sfc/scannow as well as press ENTER.
This command scans each and every one protected system files as well as restores inaccurate versions by means of right Microsoft versions.

I ran the scan (sfc/scannow) as suggested. No concern was noted by means of the scan. On the other hand, my situation was not resolved. I restarted just on the way to be in no doubt. Not fixed. After that I restored an older edition of my photos from my internet storage account. That did not resolve the problem either.If you have any other suggestion please let me know.
