Hello beautiful peoples!
Microsoft Windows, like any other operating system, serves as the backbone for your computer’s functionality, managing hardware and software resources. While it tries to do its best, on the occasion it poops the bed due to a variety of factors beyond its control, such as hardware malfunctions, software conflicts, PEBKAC errors… or just a file corruption etc.
I have a go-to one-liner command that I save specifically for moments like these…
Click on Start Menu, type in cmd and click on “Run as administrator” in the right pane of the Start Menu window.
When asked “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?” confirm by clicking on 
yes button.
Type this command and confirm with 
enter button.
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth && Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth && DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth && SFC /Scannow && shutdown -r -t 1You can also copy the command above and paste it into the Command Prompt window by right clicking in it.
This process may take a while to complete. Make sure that Your PC won’t fall asleep while its running.
Playing a long YouTube video may help keeping it awake.
Once it’s finished, your PC should automatically restart. With any luck, when it powers back up, those pesky issues will be a thing of the past.
Be patient. Sometimes it may seem like the command is stuck for a very long time. Click into the Command Prompt window and press enter button few times. On the occasion this has been known to move things along.
Sometimes if the command is stuck in one place (for more than an hour) – restarting the PC and re-running the command may help. Sometimes Windows needs to restart to replace corrupted files before it can continue repairing itself.
I hope this helps!
Catch you on the flip side,
