    I had the same problem with it finally undoing changes etc. This is what I have done.

    Go to command prompt, then right click and go into Administrators command prompt. When the next screen shows, put in the following. sfc /scannow

    it will then start to scan all your files and it will tell you whether or not it has found any corrupt files and whether it has repaired them.

    Hope this helps somebody
