Windows 10 would now become an integral part of your digital life. All the features and improvements developed exclusively in Windows 10 are, in fact, very attractive. One of its main features is the system file checker or SFC. It is mainly used to perform a thorough scan of the entire PC file system. This can easily detect any damaged files and missing file contents. Whenever you find that a file does not open properly or there is corruption in the file downloaded by browsers, you need to scan it or reset your browser. This can happen mainly due to network traffic congestion or file viruses. Also, another cause could be due to a bad service running behind the Windows module installer.
To overcome these problems, a very simple way is to open the command prompt in Administrator mode. Once the window opens, type the command sfc /scannow. The scan starts immediately and you will have to wait about 5 minutes for the verification phase to complete. But many times you do this, I get an error listed below.
