Is reinstalling Windows not an option? That normally fixes issues that might appear. If your issue is not hardware-related, a reinstall would be the easiest way to get the OS running optimally again if you're not getting anywhere with the more basic troubleshooting steps (i.e. reverting updates, creating a new Windows user profile, running System Restore and so on).

Before you reinstall the OS, you may want to check the health of your HDD/SSD. You can do this with a program such as "CrystalDiskInfo". It is a handy program that can tell you how your HDD/SSDs are doing. The health status should read, "OK". Sometimes, when drives begin to fail, they may show S.M.A.R.T errors. This is what CrystalDiskInfo looks at to determine the health of a drive.

If there's no errors, it doesn't mean the drive is OK, just that it's likely to be OK. Some drive errors don't always show S.M.A.R.T errors.

Given you're experiencing issues with programs opening/loading, it is worth checking the health of the drive. A failing drive can cause symptoms like this. Windows doesn't always detect drive failures.

If you're certain hardware is not responsible for your issues, a reinstall is the best course of action. A reinstall is effective at resolving software-related problems when the problem is complex. Finding some faults can be very time-consuming and rather than waste time trying to hunt down the cause, it's easier to start from scratch.

Windows 10 has been a rock-solid stable OS for me. I've had no issues since upgrading from Windows 7. It's the best version of Windows once you get over the nostalgia of the old OS' (i.e. Windows 7). If it's misbehaving, it's either a hardware fault (bad hard drive or another important component) or software (can be difficult to track down). .

Windows 10 is known to be problematic due to lack of full time QA team that hunts for bugs.

Seems like many here forgot how many times it was reported that updating Windows did deleted user files without any prompt nor warning.

If you think that Windows 10 is the best thing since sliced bread, I pity you. The existence of both separate but still associated Control Panel and Settings shows how badly it was developed.

That means you have not made any research and buried your head under the sand ignoring all the reported issues.

Only issues i have with windows 10 is the bloatware which someone made a program to remove them, found that out while clicking a video on youtube while i was watching videos on how to rebuild my PC. Called windows10debloater, i ran it on this crap laptop im using now and wow did it fix the lag in it. 100% cpu droped back down to 0%-10%

And the wifi i sometimes have issues with, two of my win 10 laptops won't even pickup my router, and no way it's my router, i have 2 working routers(one is a spare)

reading your issues i 2nd the Sfc scans plus other scans to help fix your issues, here is site that lists all

^both of those work wonders, i use those to avoid reinstalling windows given i have 3tb+ worth of software etc Plus all those games that have single player mods (so many hours worth of time replacing files) Just keep in mind those scans may require a windows disc if you get really bad issues so make sure you download win 10 iso from microsoft if that's your only computer. it's 4gb for 64bit, i downloaded one from them yesterday.

And do checkdisk scans as well given you mentioned mp3 files messed up(data corruption)
most harddrives only last 3-4 years and solid states can't go above 90% usage or you gain data corruption <--reason i can't use them lol.

So all the above, plus what others said plus google searching your issue should fix your issue :P I never once visited a computer repair shop. Also if your drive is 3years +, buy another, even the best recovery software isn't enough to get back those lost files. I use my old drives as ones for non important stuff since my PC shell can hold 6 drives and 7 if you count the docking system on top.

recovery chance btw

videos -bad
docs - very good, that is still good after 10x formats reason you break drive with hammer :P
pictures good

^ran out of chars, only smash a broken harddrive, buy for 20-40$ a 3 in 1 drive to usb 3.0, i use them strictly for using my harddrives on other laptops/recovery of old harddrives from my win98s.

^No point wasting a working drive but don't trust a 3 year+ drive with your operating system or files you can't stake to lose.

good luck on your problems with win 10.

To be honest, the only sane edition of Windows 10 is LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel). It is being used in the enterprise where stability and reliability are the most important aspects of the machine. It is maintained for 10 years, like Windows 2000 did in its day.

The rest of the unwashed masses are forced by default to consume the crappy edition with bloatware, telemetry hell and buggy updates.

There's nothing wrong with Windows 10 except for audio driver problems with USB mics. I think you just messed up the updates somehow or your PC is too garbage to handle it.

Literally just do a clean install. Back up all your important docs etc and I can guarantee you it'll work properly so long as your PC isn't a potato.
