#2 sfc /scannow
If repairement needed:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess Note: replace the C:\RepairSource\Windows (it may look like C:\F:\Windows ? My note.) placeholder with the location of your repair source. For more information about using the DISM tool to repair Windows, reference Repair a Windows Image.
Some programmers recommend the reverse order of these two commands: first "sfc /scannow" and then "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth".
Some programmers have also recommended to use the entire range of DISM programs for a thorough repair:
#1 Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
#2 Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
#3 Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
