How to Repair Windows 10
1. Run the System File Checker
The System File Checker (SFC) is a utility that scans for and repairs corrupt system files. To run the SFC, open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following command:
``` sfc /scannow ```The SFC will scan your system for corrupt files and repair any that it finds.
2. Run the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool
The Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool is a more powerful tool than the SFC. It can be used to repair more severe system problems, such as corrupted system images.
To run the DISM tool, open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following command:
``` DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth ```The DISM tool will scan your system for problems and repair any that it finds.
3. Reset Windows 10
If the SFC and DISM tools do not fix the problem, you may need to reset Windows 10.
To reset Windows 10, open the Settings app and go to Update & Security > Recovery. Under the Reset this PC section, click the Get started button.
You will be given the option to keep your files or remove everything. If you choose to keep your files, your personal files will be preserved, but all of your apps and settings will be deleted.
Once you have made your selection, click the Reset button to start the reset process.
