This free program can quickly identify and resolve any computer issues you may be having
Like any other electronic device, Windows computers can malfunction or have hardware or software issues that we do not fully understand. Any computer's storage device, and especially the files it holds, is one of its most crucial components.
These files are what keep your computer functioning properly and give it life. Nevertheless, a malfunction or subpar version brought on by a Windows update may result in your computer becoming slower, the taskbar becoming unresponsive, or even total damage.
Microsoft has developed a number of tools to address these problems and has incorporated them into Windows so that users can identify and resolve them. We're talking about the 'sfc' command, which can be easily executed on any computer to perform a complete scan of all these files.
However, this isn't a foolproof tool, and it may report some kind of hard drive error but fail to fix it. To do that, you'll simply have to run the other tool, DISM.
In this case, while the SFC command is responsible for examining individual files, DISM checks the overall system architecture. This is why this second command will resolve errors that the first one did not.
You can also run this tool from the command prompt by entering "dism" and selecting one of the functions. However, it's more complicated to use, so you can go to the Deskmodder website, where the DISM mini-program is located, and download it.
Once downloaded and run, you'll be able to click "Check" and then "Scan" to begin scanning for potential errors on your storage device. Once the scan is complete, it'll be possible to fix them. All this can be done with a few simple buttons and without having to deal with lines of code. The command prompt can shut down even the most advanced user.
