Windows File Checker (Version Checker/Protected files)

[Eb0y]

If you right click CMD and run it as an administrator and type
"sfc/scannow"
Without the quotation marks.

It will scan all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.


I run this every so often to check my pc is in good shape.

Hope you guys learnt somthing.

System File Checker will also check and repopulate the %Systemroot%\system32\dllcache directory. If the dllcache directory becomes corrupted or unusable, SFC /SCANNOW, SFC /SCANONCE, SFC /SCANBOOT, or SFC /PURGECACHE can be used to repair the contents of the dllcache directory.

Be careful when using this tool.

Many pieces of software modify or replace certain DLLs and other files so that the software can run properly.

Replacing everything with default is risky if you have the above type of software installed, and could make that software unusable.

It only replaces system files/protected files that are corrupt or not the correct version or not there.

Right, and some of these files could be read in a bad way and replaced.
