I am trying to help a friend use his HP desktop computer running Windows 10 Pro and found that the Run command doesn't run whether Win + R or clicking on Run from the Start menu. When these operations are attempted, Windows Explorer starts instead. How can this be fixed?

Thanks
 
Solution
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
and press enter


SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC
