Ok so here we go. Ill say everything I have done and results. First off I'm new here and greatly appreciate any help. I have had this issue for months. I can not find my Windows CD so I'm trying everything I can before buying windows again. I can not open any programs except for a select few like windows defender and same goes for downloading stuff. Whenever I try and open anything I get the, "COMCTL32.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."
SFC /scannow - Windows Resource Protection could not start repair service. I also did it in safe mode.
DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth - %1 is not valid Win32 application.
Windows update - Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803 - Error 0x800700c1
Check Disk - Just fails.
Also I was reading other posts and downloaded the SFCFix files and when I try to drop the zip onto the exe I get, "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect."
Can anyone help me get through this? My pc is useless atm, all I can do is surf web and stream.
