Why did I seem to lose my Calculator and Clock programs?

[JohnJSal]

I don't know what caused this, but suddenly it just started happening. When I click on Calculator or Clock in the Windows Start Menu, nothing happens, as if they just aren't installed anymore. I've also noticed that a couple of programs have a black line underneath them. You can see it here in the screenshot: https://snipboard.io/nCh47K.jpg

When I click the Calculator shortcut button on my keyboard, a little window pops up that says "You need an app to open this."

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks!

The first thing to do would be to run the system file checker.

To do this, type cmd in the search bar and then find command prompt, right click it and click on run as administrator.

Then when it opens type the following

sfc /scannow hit enter.

The process may run for some time and you'll see the percentage complete go up. When its done you should get a little output come up and it might say that it found some problems and automatically fixed them. If it did, then you can try to run calculator and the clock again. If not, we will have to try something else.

Thanks! But all it said after completion was "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
