Programs freezing on Save as and Open dialogs

[Singularity_iOS]

I've tried googling this so much but cant seem to find any useful fixes. Basically most programs are freezing when I click on Save as or Open. This isn't affecting chrome, and MS office, but paint, rufus, snipping tool are not working at all. Freezes every time. Restarted my computer multiple times. Is there a working fix for this? I had this problem on Windows 8 about a year ago but then I reinstalled when I got a SSD so naturally the problem was solved.

Right click on the c drive in explorer / properties / tools and run the error checking. It might be a problem with the file system. If that doesn't help, take a look in the windows event viewer and search for related errors.

That returned no errors and the problem still persists. Anything else to try?

EDIT: I crashed Paint to make a error apear and this is what I got:

Bump. I seriously need some help with this. I can't do anything with files other then chrome and Word.

Turned out to be OldNewExplorer causing the problem. All good now.

Actually I got the same problem and resolved.

here is the step
Open a Cmd (run as Administrator)
type " SFC / scannow"

wait for an hour.

It prompts
"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired
them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios."

Then the problem solved. Hope it work for the others.
