Hey everyone! I just built a new PC and I'm running into some serious issues with Windows 11. Lately, I've been hit with a "System file error (-2147219200)" whenever I try to play videos or audio files. On top of that, the start menu has been super unresponsive; I often need to reboot multiple times just to get it to pop up. My games and browsers also keep crashing unexpectedly. I've tried running SFC/Scannow and various diagnostics, but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have tips on how I can deal with this problem?

Before you decide on a reinstall, try running DISM to check for system image problems. Use the command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth, then run SFC again afterward. This might fix the issues without needing a full reinstall.
I managed to uninstall the latest quality update, and it seems to be running stable now. If I do end up reinstalling, I’ll definitely try running DISM first!
