The only sane way to fix Windows is to delete it and start using #freeasinfreedom operative systems. 😅😅😅 But this also requires that users and administrators be conscious and educated. Sadly an appreciable share is not 😢😭
Reminds me of the good old days when a hoax spread through e-mail and msn messenger (to date the thing 🧓) pretended that a a system file with a teddy bear as its icon was a dangerous virus you'd been infected by, and that you should delete it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jdbgmgr.exe_virus_hoax
Similar situation with Linux distros like RHEL and Ubuntu LTS: too many of the scanners (and security personnel) *only* look at the major.minor.patch version of installed software which gets flagged for CVEs, and do not realize that almost all long term support OSs backport security fixes into their included versions, so something like PHP 7.4 which is EOL by upstream may be patched and perfectly fine with the appropriate vendor (distro) patch applied. Sigh.
My daughter used to have a Windows desktop and I had to reinstall Windows every six months or so because she'd done stuff like this, except more so. So I got her an iMac. A few years later she's having a problem so I open up Terminal... no terminal. Yep. same problem, except that it took years for her to break her Mac to the point she noticed something was wrong.
I ssh-ed in to her iMac and copied Terminal.app and a few other files back from my Mac and everything was good.
