Open an administrator command prompt and issue this command: sfc /scannow . That will scan for corrupt system files and attempt to correct any it finds.

Good luck.

Oops, sorry I missed that. The cause can be varied, but a couple of things would be shutting the computer down with going through a normal shutdown. That's almost guaranteed to do it if you do it enough. Another way would be to pick up some form of malware. For that I've downloaded and installed the free version of MalwareBytes and I run it every few weeks or whenever I suspect I've gotten infected.

Good luck.
