Corrupt system 32 files, need some help
I am unsure how, but at least a month ago or so my computer encountered
an issue with corrupted system 32 files. I am running Windows 8.1 Enterprise (downloaded through my university) on a custom desktop computer. I concluded that some of my system 32 files were corrupted because I got several error messages saying that windows
couldn't find explorer.exe and the message also had something about the .dll files. The appearance of these messages aren't consistent as I was unable to recreate the exact message after restarting my computer (which is why I don't have the exact message),
but when one does pop up I can screenshot it or quote it if necessary. Ever since I have had the issue several programs haven't been able to work, I haven't been able to access the windows settings menu or use the search function, my printer won't work with
my computer, I can't drag and drop desktop icons or files, the icon for my file explorer and some other programs shows up as a blank page, and there are a few other small things. I tried doing a system restore, but I could not restore to a back-up before I
had the corrupted files. After this I tried running the SFC command and a program after (which i forgot which one it was) to repair my files, but this did not solve my issue. After this I wanted to proceed to do a system refresh, but couldn't because I was
not able to access the proper settings menu to do so. So I was thinking that I can maybe manually reinstall windows somehow, since I was able to download the ISO file for windows 8.1 enterprise on to a flash drive through my university. I have no clue how
to reinstall windows with an ISO file, so this is the part where I am going to need some guidance.

Try to run "cmd" as Administrator and run "sfc /scannow" - it should check integrity and fix problems with system protected files.
