How to Run DISM and System File Checker

Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8 users will need to first run the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool before running the System File Checker. DISM will use Windows Update to provide any files that are needed to fix corruption. If you skip this step, System File Checker might not work. Windows 7 and Vista users can skip this step.

You will need to first open the Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator.



Type in DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press enter. This may take a few minutes.

Running System File Checker

All you need to do is type in sfc /scannow and press the Enter key.



System File Checker will now scan for and replace files from the Windows cache.
