The windows update troubleshooter didn't find any problems

Open start and search for cmd or Command prompt and right click on it and run it as administrator and then type the following command:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and let it runs and see what is the result.

"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."- HotCakeXMar 29, 2021MVPscanning system files is the most basic thing, it's never fixed any problem for me, ever, not a single time.
the tool is probably not thorough enough and only quickly scans some common files.
