Windows System Integrity Check

Windows System Integrity Check

Sometimes Windows gets corrupted by updates or software installation on your computer.

It is possible to perform a system file check using a magic tool called DISM

Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is used to prepare and configure Windows during deployment and once installed.

It is a tool provided with Windows since Windows 7

So, to check system files, you need to run a command prompt as administrator, and type:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

The master image is now being checked and repaired. Once completed, you can perform a Windows integrity check by running the following command in the same command prompt:

sfc /scannow
It is not mandatory to restart the computer after the repair is done, but rather recommended
