I tried with everything possible option, it was working fine through safe mode but not from normal login. I ended up with restoring my OS to restore point. I referred this link: http://www.howtogeek.com/222532/how-to-repair-corrupted-windows-system-files-with-the-sfc-and-dism-commands/ and it solved my problem.
