    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Most often when something like this occurs, it is not a malware problem. It is more often a physical problem with your file system or your hard disk and that is where you really should start by running a disk error check. What is the folder name and what is the full path to it?

    If you wish to check your PC for malware you can do this by following the below instructions but if you have disk or file system problems, the scans may run into problems.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions. If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
