Hello,
Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft community forum.
I would like to know some information about the issue so that we could help you better.
Have you made any hardware or software changes to your computer?
I would suggest you uninstall Windows Shortcut Arrow Editor and check if it helps. Please follow these steps:
a. Right-click in the screen’s bottom-left corner and choose the Control Panel from the pop-up menu.
b. When the Control Panel appears, choose Uninstall a Program from the Programs category.
c. The Uninstall or Change a Program window appears, listing your currently installed programs, their publisher, size, installation date, and version number.
d. Click the Windows Shortcut Arrow Editor program and then click Uninstall.
You may also run Microsoft safety scanner and check for viruses or malwares
Refer:
Microsoft safety scanner

Note: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.
I hope this information helps.
Please do let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hello,
Thank you for keeping us updated on the status of the issue.
I would suggest you to run System file checker(SFC) and check if it helps.
Refer:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
Note: It may ask for Windows Installation DVD to fix and to enable SFC to make more than minor repairs. Some files saved on your computer might get deleted when fixing corrupted files.
I hope this helps.
Thank you
