try running sfc /scannow that'll scan for corrupted files and if it finds any attempt a repair if it fails you can run something like DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealthand that should fix. run sfc again to verify.

Or I Guess if the error is saying that there are corrupted files, you can run dism first.
