Sounds like your Windows Installation has developed an error. Try running System File Checker from elevated Command Prompt.
Press Winkey and X together
Choose 'Command Prompt (Admin)'
Type
sfc /scannow (note the space before /) and hit 'Enter'
Your Windows System Files will be checked for errors, and repaired if anything found.
