Hey folks! I got myself in a bit of a bind with my system. One of my games was throwing a DLL error, so I went on a search and ended up downloading a bunch of DLL files in a RAR archive. I copied these DLLs to both the sys32 and syswow64 folders. The game works fine now, but I've created a mess; other games and applications have stopped working, and I think I've broken something in Windows 11 itself.
I've tried a couple of fixes like updating Windows, reinstalling my NVIDIA drivers, and even repairing my Visual C++ installations, but I'm still encountering issues. What can I do to fix these DLLs? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, messing around with DLL files can lead to a lot of headaches. The safest bet from here is to just reinstall Windows to get a clean slate. It's the easiest way to ensure all your system files are in order. If you can't do that for some reason, let me know, and we can explore other options.
I can't reinstall Windows at the moment! Is there anything else I can do to fix my DLL issues?
