This is the second major issue with WIN& Pro. First my management console stopped working. A member created a shortcut to allow me to open up the console.
Now my Help & Support opens from the start menu but when a search help finds the topic but it opens then states it has stopped working!
Help! Will I have to perform a windows repair?
While it may not be as aggressive as repair, you can try running sfc /scannow from an elevated cmd prompt. Brink has a tutorial on how to open the prompt here
For me, the sfc is the quickest, easiest, and safest way to restore corrupt/missing files if only because it denies me the opportunity to make repair mistakes.

Monk,
I ran SFC, but it still does not work.

System Restore does not work. I turned off my Norton Internet Security & it still did not work. I ran RegCure & it never fixed the problem.
Do you think I will have to run Windows Repair or reformatt & install W& clean?

I do have a Windows backup copy but I have installed several programs since then.
If I perform a fix, should I start with system repair or should I reinstall windows? If one of these don't work then I will prepare for a clean install.
Start with the repair. The clean install would be last, since it causes the most headaches; programs must be reinstalled.
He did try restore if im not mistaken. Just do system repair using windows disk and if problems continues. Try fresh clean install mate
EDIT. when you do system repair. check any recent software or hardware installed that might cause your prob
