    I have a problem. Actually I messed up a little. I was having an error while opening a game error 0xc00007b unable to start app... So, I found a solution which was related to downloading .dll files. I actually copied all .dll files (after downloading) to both syswow64 and system32 folder. Later I read on a forum that 32 bit dll files should be copied to syswow64 folder and 64bit to system32 folder. I messed up. I copied every file in both the folders. I think it would cause errors.
    I am using windows 10 64bit.
    Should I reinstall my windows?
