Need to verify integrity of game files(explained)

[Sakiri]

So I'm having a (recurring, oddly enough ) old bug where as soon as I enter the game, I have a level up waiting.  This has happened to me a number of times in the past, and the only way I've been able to fix it, is to verify the integrity of game files.

As you can see, I'm in the abandoned prison right after character creation, and I have a level up waiting. I sometimes will open the menu to see if this bug's happened or not, it's that frequent in my games. 

 

My question is, since I've never had to do this with a STEP install(in fact, it's never happened to me in LE), I don't know what will happen to my install if I have to run the verifying operation. I really don't want to screw it up and have to do this all over again. On top of it, I think SSE has updated again so I *really* don't know what to do.

 

Unless anyone else has a fix for this bug, by all means, let me know. If I leave it be, my leveling is *greatly* accelerated. I'll level every couple weapon swings or spell casts. It's absurd. 

 

Help?
