Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time.

Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command.
