        In case it’s helpful to someone, RDR2 wanted to access the save files in My Documents that OneDrive needed to be running to sync properly.

        Got no idea on GTA IV though, dxvk and FusionFix have failed to help me so far.

            If you can’t open a Windows critical app like start or options or the task bar it’s usually the answer. On very rare occasion it can help with peripherals, but it should always be accompanied by system updates and dism

        Well wrong clock causes all kinds of problems. As a system administrator it is one of the first things to check. Computers love to be in sync

          sfc /scannow is to fix your Windows if it has corrupted files.

          Rebooting doesn’t, but it will reload all the files in your memory from scratch again, making it less prone to problems.

          But if the problems are that the files itself are corrupted, then rebooting will not help.
