  • 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.
