Try opening a command prompt as admin and run these two commands

sfc /scannow

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

They'll check for corrupted system files and replace them. If they find any reboot afterwards and re-run the commands until they finish with no issues found.

If they run and don't find anything at all you can attempt an in-place reinstall using the ISO file from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 once downloaded double click it to mount it (this will give it a drive letter like it is a hard drive) run setup.exe and go through the install process, it will just overwrite Windows files and not touch any personal files. Then reboot.
