Hello, I recently started having Bad Image errors and am looking for help on resolving them. They have been on several executables I have been trying to open, as well as some I don't recognize which I assume have been ones running in the background, and sometimes one upon starting up and attempting to sign in.
I have tried every recommended method I could find with no success, including:
1) Running a command prompt in administrator and typing "sfc /scannow". This always stops at 17% with the message "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
2) Doing multiple System Restores to different restore points, those always resulting in a fail due to being unable to restore a directory from the restore point.
3) Navigating to AppInit_DLLs and removing any values using the Registry Editor.
4) Uninstalling the most recent windows update.
5) Un and reinstalling the offending programs.
The only thing I have yet to try is to completely reset my PC, which I would rather not do. I am also unfortunately not very good with computers, so I apologize if I have missed anything. Thank you!
