Windows corrupted?

Hi, I was wondering if my copy of Windows 10 is corrupted? The welcome screen doesn't have the spinning dots anymore and the desktop background changes to black byitself. Tried running sfc/scannow but it gets stuck, running the dsim command also fails too.

If windows boots up it may be components. I would first try uploading all of your important files or moving them somewhere else, and reinstall windows.

There is an option to re-install windows without touching your files, Try holding shift, and pressing restart from the start menu.

 

although I recommend you backup your files beforehand 

How about downloading the iso file from Microsoft and mount it and then do a repair install? I'm assuming it's better since it's less likely to have a corrupted installer. Also the files are in the d: partition while the os is on c:

You could give that a shot

Just done the repair install, seems to be working properly.
