windows is suddenlly and randomly corrupt, major problems please help!
hello,
let's start off at the beginning, my computer started acting strange about 3 days ago. not sure what caused it as the last thing i was doing was playing terraria. the next day it was suddenly acting up.
I'll explain what suddenly started happening, as much detail as i can remember. when i first started my computer up i was closing the start up programs i dont always use like himachi and a java update i ignored at the moment but missed and hit probabilities and it started loading, but nothing opened i then tried to right click it to close it but nothing would happen. after shrugging it off i tried to open steam which would just give me the loading image by my mouse but never open it, at that point i tried to open control panel via ctr+alt+del but it would not pop up,a bit frustrated i tried to restart the computer but it also did nothing so i forced shut down by holding the button down.
the next time i turned it on it worked normally and opened steam and terraria, after my game session i went to turn off my computer which stopped doing anything after hiding the task bar and shortcuts so only the desktop background was shown and never progressed from there.
after all this i tried disk cleaning and defraging (was 10% fraged) after that i did a scan with malware bytes, which came up with nothing.after that i did a avast virus scan which came up with 1 infection which i stopped short to get rid of, avast then suggested a boot scan which i did, and after it finished it found 7 infections and a lot of corrupted files (mainly old steam mods or maps)most of the infections were java related and a Trojan in the windows temp folder. after putting them in the chest i restarted and tried once more to see if it had fixed my problem. it was working for a bit, i opened league and spectated a game with no problems and opened steam as well. but as i saw and decided to delete a shortcut that i no longer used it started loading and then windows explorer stopped responding.
now i tried to do a sfc /scannow and it completed telling me that some of the corrupted files could not be repaired and i know this problem has happened before and that tom is the go to guy for this.. can i get some help to repair my computer please ?
note: it sort of opens league and steam it does not show in control panel unless you look in progresses and there they are stuck at using 116k and 108k and will not end with end task.. also i think it may of had something to do with my outdated java since it all started when i hit prop instead of exit(since they reverse them) or at least thats when it started acting odd
