Using: W10pro; ie11; outlook10

Had to reset IE11 settings to default after IE11 stopped working (had tried all fixes I could find). Fixed the IE11 problem. But in Outlook 10 email images stopped displaying (red X box only; error message says 'image cannot be displayed and may have neen renamed.....').

Checked both the 'picture place holder' setting (it was off) and trusted center's 'don't download picture automatically....' (it was off). For fun reset them to 'on' and back to 'off' then apply and restart outlook and ie11. Restart computer, again just for fun. No help. Still no email pics. In IE11 checked options/advanced/security and the 'Do not save encrypted pages to disk' is turned off and in mutlimedia the "'Show placeholders' is off. 'Show pictures' is on.

What else can I try?
TIA everyone

Solution
Did you try:

right click start button
choose command prompt (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter

this will scan system files and may fix this behaviour
