It sounds like some corruption issue. In addition to Abhinav's recommendations, you should run(hit Windows key and R button then type "cmd" and run, run following commands one line at a time) :
chkdsk c:
sfc /scannow
If the commands above return "problems found but cannot be solved" do
"dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Check Health"
"
"dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth"
"dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" (do not add " symbols) then run the SFC command again.
Then do a full scan with MalwareBytes.
