System File Check (SFC) might fix this issue. I would also suggest you to try create a new user account and check the issue status.
 
Follow the steps:
a. Press “Windows Key + W”.
b. Type Users in the search box and select “Users” option from the left panel.
c. Select “Add Users” under “Other users” option.
d. Add the user profile details.
