John,

Either it is malware or the OS is corrupt/damaged. There are a whole slew of things to do for this... the last ones being Restore, Refresh or Rebuild but, 1st...

When did this start?
What security are you using?
What did you use to check for viruses that said it was clean?
Is the machine brand new?

Please do the following:
(Oh, I just remembered your cmd won't work)
Run a full scan w/ Malwarebytes
Tell the machine to do a Disc Check - Rt Clk on C:/, Lt Clk on Properties > Tools tab & hit Check Now

Cheers,
Drew

You could also try running the system file checker:

Right click in the bottom left hand corner of the screen and from the list/menu choose admin command prompt. Type:

sfc /scannow

Press enter and await results from scan. If any corruption is found it will attempt to repair.
 
Oh, maybe I misread... I thought he'd said cmd didn't work. If it does & I misunderstood, I, too, was going to suggest sfc /scannow

So, yes, that would be the thing to do.

Cheers,
Drew
