How to use SFC in Windows 10?
1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Start Menu. Type in “cmd” and press enter to launch the Command Prompt.
2. To launch the System File Checker (SFC) utility, type in “sfc /scannow” and press enter. This will scan all protected system files and replace corrupted versions with a cached copy that was stored in a compressed folder located on the system partition.
3. Once the scan is complete, a message will be displayed stating “Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.” This means that your system files are in a good state and no further action is necessary.
4. If the scan does detect any integrity violations, the message “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them” will be displayed. You should then restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. You can also use the “sfc /verifyonly” command to verify that all protected system files are intact without trying to repair any corrupted ones. This is useful for detecting any potential problems before running the “sfc /scannow” command to repair them.
