How to authenticate Windows file systems?

Is there any way to verify that a file is from Microsoft and has not been modified? Maybe there is some database of hashes of all files of all editions of the OS (first of all, files from the% systemroot% directory are of interest)?
I understand that with every update some of the files are modified, but I don't think it's too difficult for a company like Microsoft to add information about fixed files to the database.

But what is the task? If you catch viruses, then you just need to reinstall.

When combofix is ​​running , there is a check for modified files, and if they are found, it tries to restore from a backup copy, it rolls in 50-70% and the file is restored. If it was not possible to restore, then you can simply manually restore / copy from the working machine.
