    Hi,
    You could try the following command to restore missing system files:
    Type these command in elevated command prompt and press Enter at the end:

    1. Perform a SFC scan:
      sfc /scannow
    2. Dism
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Best regards.
