Fix broken Windows files with System File Checker

 System File Checker (SFC) is a built-in Windows utility that can be used to scan for and repair corrupted system files. To use SFC to fix broken Windows files, follow these steps:

1. Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:

sfc /scannow

This will scan all protected system files and replace any that are corrupted with a cached copy.

3. The SFC scan may take several minutes to complete. Once it is finished, you will see a message indicating whether or not any corrupted files were found and repaired.

If SFC was unable to repair any corrupted files, you can try running the DISM tool. DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) is a more powerful tool that can repair Windows images, including the system files. To run DISM, follow these steps:

1. Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

This will scan the Windows image for corruption and repair any issues that are found.

If SFC and DISM are unable to repair your corrupted system files, you may need to reinstall Windows.

Here are some additional tips for fixing broken Windows files:

• Make sure that your computer is up to date with the latest Windows updates. Updates often include fixes for corrupted system files.
• Avoid running third-party antivirus or security software that may interfere with SFC or DISM.
• If you have recently made any changes to your computer, such as installing new software or drivers, try undoing those changes to see if they fix the problem.
• If you are still having trouble fixing your corrupted system files, you can contact Microsoft support for help.

Remember to back up your important data before attempting any repairs or modifications to your system. If the problems persist after trying these steps, you might want to seek assistance from a professional or consider a fresh installation of Windows.
