I am slowly learning computer stuffs lol. But this I am stuck. It has been a few months since Im getting this problem. Up until a few days ago it hasnt been necessarily an issue, but an annoyance.

This may be two sided question, but I am suspecting it is related.

So the past few months I am getting an error anytime I try to install any software, or open many different games or programs. Attached are the error messages. It often will come in sets of 2. However it has not actually prevented anything from running or installing except one older game. My first issue is... what is causing this? I ran SFC scanner in an elevated command prompt and it says it has issues but it cant fix them.

This may be entirely unrelated.... but I also for the last 2-3 months get this pop up that my windows OS isn't genuine. However it was purchased through University of Phoenix as a digital copy so it should be genuine. However about a year ago I had no idea how to partition so I downloaded Ease partition master( I know, embarrassing) But I didn't allocate the right amounts. I tried to move a portion from the first partition to the second which obviously rendered my computer inoperable. So I downloaded a system recovery image for win 7 and got my comp working again. When I input my license key into Microsoft's thingy to check if its genuine, it says that key is not. Like I said it may be unrelated, but not entirely sure cuz the time frames are pretty close from getting this error and that genuine windows popup.

The second part that is seemingly related to the first issue is all kinds of messed up. I went to play the Star Wars Battlefront beta and it said I had to have a more current driver. Nvidia has always kept it up to date so I opened up Geforce experience and it says this( see attached) So I figured it might just be a Geforce issue... downloaded current driver from website, tried to install and get this ( see attached). So I tried to uninstall... And I get this ( see attached) Even CCleaner gives me that error when I try to remove any Nvidia components.

What other info do you need?

You guys are awesome. Thank you for any and all help! trying to avoid a wipe because I am worried I am going to run into issues activating my Windows 7.

If you are trying to uninstall nVida components, GO to nVidia's Website and select the NEW drivers you wish to download.
(the one compatible with your computer)
SAVE the Video Driver download.
>DOWNLOAD " Display Driver Uninstall " at this LINK: Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 15.5.1.0
UNZIP the downloaded " [Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip ". RUN the DDU x.15.5.1.0.exe file in the extracted folder.
Follow the prompts, allow the computer to auto-boot into safe-mode, Choose nVidia uninstall when you get to safe-mode
When complete, you will not have a display driver anymore. (all of this is automatic, a monkey can do it)
After you are finished in SAFE-MODE, the computer will re-boot without a display driver.
Boot normally back into WINDOWS.
RUN the NEWLY DOWNLOADED video display driver you got from nVida (as shown in the first line of this reply).
CHOOSE: "Custom" Install from the nVida Display Driver installer.
Make sure "CLEAN INSTALL" is ticked.
After the video driver installation,
all should be good, the old drivers will be uninstalled and you should have a FRESH "clean" install of your nVida display driver.
> Cheers and Good Luck
