Announcement: We are currently not adding any applications to WinUtil and any apps that will be added through a PR will be declined by the maintainer. Announcement: We are currently reworking the docs to use Hugo rather then mkdocs.

System Corruption Scan

Info

The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of WinUtil, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won't be updated automatically.

    .SYNOPSIS
        Checks for system corruption using Chkdsk, SFC, and DISM

    .DESCRIPTION
        1. Chkdsk    - Fixes disk and filesystem corruption
        2. SFC Run 1 - Fixes system file corruption, and fixes DISM if it was corrupted
        3. DISM      - Fixes system image corruption, and fixes SFC's system image if it was corrupted
        4. SFC Run 2 - Fixes system file corruption, this time with an almost guaranteed uncorrupted system image

    .NOTES
        Command Arguments:
            1. Chkdsk
                /Scan - Runs an online scan on the system drive, attempts to fix any corruption, and queues other corruption for fixing on reboot
            2. SFC
                /ScanNow - Performs a scan of the system files and fixes any corruption
            3. DISM      - Fixes system image corruption, and fixes SFC's system image if it was corrupted
                /Online - Fixes the currently running system image
                /Cleanup-Image - Performs cleanup operations on the image, could remove some unneeded temporary files
                /Restorehealth - Performs a scan of the image and fixes any corruption
