Command Used:
sfc /scannow
Whenever you try to run SFC utility in your command prompt, it doesn’t mean it will run without checking any possibilities of error that you may have triggered. There can be many errors while running a simple command as “sfc /scannow” every now and then. But in this tutorial, we will be focusing on the common error that most of the users face when they try this command, and that is “You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the SFC utility”
Run System File Checker
In Windows 10/8/7/Vista, the System File Checker is integrated with Windows Resource Protection, which protects registry keys and folders as well as critical system files. If any changes are detected to a protected system file, the modified file is restored from a cached copy located in the Windows folder itself.
So if at any point of time if you find that you have modified some system files or maybe applied some tweaks or replaced system files, maybe while customizing your Windows, and you now find that your Windows is not working properly, you may want to consider running this utility first, before trying a System Restore. To do so, you will have to first open an elevated command prompt window.
To run the System File Checker in Windows 10/8/7, type cmd in the Start search box. In the result, which appears, right click on cmd and select Run As Administrator.
