I’m not sure what fixed it because I tried multiple things yesterday, but it shutdown normally last night.

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall

    Not sure how you searched but I assume you didn’t use or know apt? How do you install packages in the first place? Through GUI or Terminal?

    EDIT: I assume you use the Linux Mint GUI package manager. I can’t find how to do this too, would need to search more detailed but I don’t have enough time for this now, need sleep, don’t have enough sleep.

      I know about and have used apt, I install pretty much everything through the terminal. What I searched for was “how to reinstall libpcre” because I thought that it required a specific method or something due to the fact that it’s a system library.

      Anyways, it reinstalled it but I wont know if it fixed the issue until tonight.
