Hi :)
My problem has already been solved. What helped, was to go "recovery options for windows 10" install the "Windows 10 media creation tool". Instead of creating a new installation media, I chose the option to "upgrade this PC now". At the time of writing this, 24 hours have passed without the error showing again. For links and more information, please read this post and Douglas' answers below. I owe a special "thank you" to
Yesterday I factory reset my Windows 10 laptop after having issues with it. Most times i turned it on after "sleep" or "hibernate" it would wake up to a black screen saying something along the lines of "Repairing Drive C:".
One of the first things I did with my freshly reset PC, was to attempt an installation of "Google Chrome". When running the installer, I was met with the following message:
"Chrome Update - Bad Image"
"C:/Windows/SYSTEM32/MSIMG32.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f"
I've had similar error messages to this before I reset my PC.
With the help of different forums, I ran a "sfc /scannow" test. Its log file concluded with several files (3 or so) that had "mismatching hash numbers". I tried "Repairing" my PC through Windows' "Advanced Startup" without any help.
It is with this information that I'm guessing that several files of my PC are "corrupt". I ended up reseting my PC again yesterday in hope of this being fixed, but it didn't.
I appreciate the fact that you've read this far. I accept all solutions and help. Thank you in advance :)
