I didn’t intentionally...but it was installed today
try reinstalling it......the settings and data created by the program may still be intact, then use the program’s interface to try and repair your machine..
If that fails, I would go into your data, documents, email and all that....and your user folders etc, and back them all up to a external drive...buy one if you need to.
Then reload the OS....
it’s what I usually do with a catastrophic issue, and it always works for me..
In addition to that, your reinstall will also save your data as ‘windows old” and you should have total access to it. But your programs that you installed will have to be reinstalled on the new copy of the OS..
By the way, if you use my suggestion to reinstall the OS, it gives you two options.
1. a fresh install which deletes all of your data...and reformats the drive.
2. a reintall that keeps the data as windows old..
Choose option one, only if you entire machine has been corrupted by a worm or virus and you don’t want or need to take the time to clean it sufficiently.. That option essentially sets you computer back to the out of the box new condition.
