Windows 10 has a built-in System File Checker tool that can be used to scan and repair corrupted system files. It is also known as the System Maintenance Troubleshooter and it runs automatically on a regular basis.
The first step in repairing corrupt system files in Windows 10 is to open a command prompt as an administrator. To do this, right click the Start button and select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the options. Once the Command Prompt window is open, type sfc /scannow and press Enter. This will begin the System File Checker process.
Once the scan is complete, the System File Checker will provide you with a report of any corrupt system files it encountered during the scan. If it finds any corrupt system files, it will attempt to repair them. Depending on the type of corruption, this process may take some time.
If the System File Checker is unable to repair the files, then you may need to manually replace the corrupt files. This can be done by downloading the updated files from Microsoft’s website, or by using third-party software such as Reimage. If you are using third-party software to replace the files, make sure that they are clean and free from any malicious code.
Another method of how to repair corrupt system files in Windows 10 is to run a disk check. To do this, open the Command Prompt window again and type chkdsk /f and press Enter. This will check your hard drive for corrupt files and attempt to repair them. Again, depending on the severity of the corruption this may take some time.
Once the disk check is complete, you may also want to run a system restore. System restore will reset your system to a point before the corruption began and should allow you to use your computer with the issue solved. To do this, open the Control Panel and go to System and Security -> System -> System Protection. Select the “System Restore” option and follow the instructions to reset your system.
These are some methods of how to repair corrupt system files in Windows 10. If these methods do not work, then you may need to reinstall Windows 10 in order to fully fix the problem. However, this is only a last resort and should only be attempted after attempting the above solutions.
