They should first try to repair or restore the system files else the data in their disk can go inaccessible.

Windows systems are more prone to corrupt system files more frequently, but you can fix this issue easily. You should use 'system restore' which keeps daily backup and you can restore your system to any previous date. You can find 'system restore' in control panel.
