I'd reinstall MWB, if that's what you normally use. You can d/l a free trial version and use long enough to install and reboot.

I scheduled a ScanDisk check and then Safe Mode reboot and found corrupted files, and supposedly "bad clusters reassigned". I think LibreOffice needs to be reinstalled; it's hardly ever used on that computer, though.

Not a Windows guy. BTW, this happened on O L D installations -- Win7 and Win8.1
