Not mentioned, but you need to escalate the cmd to admin for that.
Also, if you’re gonna run sfc, you can also run this DISM command and it also helps things 🙂
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

So as a pleb when it comes to this stuff, what does it do, and feel free to dumb it down as much as possible, thanks!

I’m pretty sure I fixed random crashes from my keyboard driver on my laptop that way.
Maybe.

Neither DISM nor sfc /scannow should be done „just so“. If you dont have any problems with your OS (like Windows not updating for example) there is no benefit to execute these tasks.

It has its uses, but I wouldn’t run it unless something was actually broken.
It did fix that one time when my windows file search died (the search bar in file explorer was greyed out)

Of course, read the doc
And put in any argument you don’t want/edit the script files if the argument doesn’t exist

I work in IT and yes it can sometimes fix strange issues, but it’s pretty rare. You don’t really need to be running it randomly.

“command not found”

This isn’t really something that needs to be run frequently but it shouldn’t break anything if you choose to.
If you are going to do this there is a specific order for best results.
CMD as admin
First run
DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Then
Sfc /scannow
The dism fixes any corrupt Windows install files that sfc pulls from to fix issues in your Windows installation.

“chkdsk /R” when shit hits the fan

Or use Linux

This kind of advices is poison for people who don’t know what they are doing. Stop obsessing over cleaning your pc, installing cleaning software, overcomplicating mundane tasks and specially stop obsessing how much ram your pc is using.

Also delete system 32 while you are at it, it speeds up your pc.
Jokes aside, if shit aint broken don’t be doing stuff like this.

This is a failure on Microsoft for not running this periodically.

Repairing system files? Umm, yeah, it’s good advice actually

I have not once in my life seen sfc or dism fix anything and I used to fix PCs for a living
