Windows System File Maintenance

I like to occasionally run scans on my Windows system files to ensure my Windows installation is stable.

Step 1: Run DSIM

Open Command Prompt as administrator and run the following command

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth 

This may take a few minutes. When completed, follow step 2 in the same Command Prompt.

Step 2: Run the system file checker

Run the following command in Command Prompt.

sfc /scannow

If any integrity violations were found and repaired, reboot your computer.
