Could not download or delete files on Windows 10

Question

Two days ago, my computer suddenly could not download any files from any browsers and also I could not delete any files unless I drag the files inside the recycle bin.

I've tried so many tools like MalwareBytes, CCleaner, Registry Fixers, and so on but nothing fixes that. I am not sure whether it is because of some registry error or virus/malware? I've also checked Windows Security and Firewall and none of those are issues as well. I don't want to reinstall the windows just for this and I don't think it is a proper solution.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Question: Was the problem related to a recent Window Update?

Checks and fixes:

• chkdsk
• sfc /scannow
• If System Restore is enabled, roll back to before the problem arrived
• At worst, do In-place Upgrade.
