Yes, try it as Run as Administrator.

Maybe I'm not understanding. I went to Start, then Run and pasted in the SFC
/SCANNOW, a black box flashed for a second and then nothing at all happened.
I'm wondering if I'm supposed to use that cmd box for this?

OK, Nikilet,

Go to your Start-Run line and type SFC /SCANNOW

This may take a while since it checks all the system files.

This will repair or replace any corrupt or missing files.

Then reboot again.
