5 commands that could SAVE your computer!

[@Faith_Walker]

It's surprisingly refreshing when someone reminds me of some misc computer knowledge that was forgotten in the heaps of info from years and years of experience; thank you for that. I made bat files for all of these to make things easier, and I'll probably include them in the scheduler at a later date.

[@LironSegev]

Smart move!

[@FilaMax7520]

@@LironSegev Maybe you can do a video to explain the bat files and how to include them in the scheduler like ""WARCRIMES" mentioned for those of us that are not as computer literate. I - personally - would greatly appreciate it.

[@johnkovacs1318]

Whoa BAT files, now THAT takes me back, not sure why I didn't think of making a bat file instead of trying to remember all these commands at a moments notice lol

[@grantross2609]

seem to remember that fiddling about with settings in the old days could cause lots of headaches tho......

I followed this to the letter, well almost, couple of typos but no real issues, on 2 old desktops that are older than 10 years and a Gigabyte laptop from 2011. Had a lot of fun with this one. Thank you Liron

0:53 I’m currently doing the memory check. I’m 54% into it and it’s taking almost an hour so far just for this test. This test alone would’ve killed the one hour time limit. As usual, great video, though!

[@kw1x1x]

Thank you Liron. I echo previous comments (have used sfc; dism; etc for years - not often enough!!). For me, WINGET TOOL was a revalation. I would never have known it was there. It immediately updated dozens of apps and utilities. I have just subscribed!!

[@Mezzerin666]

Same for me, i knew the other stuff but not Winget, nice one!

[@mass-1128]

Great video as always, but I do have a few questions for you regarding Winget. 1. Is it 100% safe or am I vulnerable? 2. Should I agree to the source agreement terms yes/no? 3. How do I know that it will provide me with the latest updates? 4. Does any of the updates have telemetry enabled, as these are user-hostile defaults you don't want?

[@prodigys9823]

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP. YOUR VIDEO ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETEER. I appreciate the info.

[@steveb9822]

Good review if your computer can boot. How about some advice on how to handle a Windows boot failure? Over the years Windows recovery efforts usually cannot repair the issue and I resort to my last backup. Love your channel!

[@Krissie-Colton]

Excellent, I think I'm not going through your back catalogue to run these updates. Brilliant. Really like the way you've made these videos because there so simple to follow and the language is beginner friendly so it makes sense. Have to say doing the Winget tool, when that was doing its thing, I was worried but it worked! i'm delighted. Thanks

[@James-ke5sx]

I simply install a computer program called Deep Freeze standard. It prevents all changes to my C drive and after almost 10 years my computer works like brand new it never needs repair. I showed this software to a repairman and he told me that if his customers installed this software he would be immediately out of business.

[@-DeeKay-]

Wow, the new winget command is so handy. This caught my eye a few weeks ago during the additional installation of the latest PowerShell version, but the fact that I can update all programs and libraries with it (amazingly independent of the Windows Store) is just super fast and handy. Thanks for this!

[@mattcarter4681]

Currently, working through the step on my laptop, I appreciate the distinction I now have between fix and repair

[@rty1955]

I also go into safe mode and get rid of the swap file, then run a defrag. Once that is done, reallocate a swap file once again. Windoze swap file uses standard file allocation methods which could lead to the swap file being placed all over the disk, thus causing performance issues. Placing the swap file on another disk would be best. Of course I have not used windoze for decades, instead I use a much more reliable & solid o/s.

[@scottjohnson5449]

thanks again for more useful information.... could not get the memory scan to work but the rest sure did... speaking of.... the last thing you said to try.. the winget thing really hit pay dirt for me!!! i was able to get updates to things i didnt know i had but the O.S. still is using to operate. thanks for all THE FREE info, you have saved me LOTS of money.. i owe you more than i can pay...

[@LironSegev]

You're welcome!

[@johnrogers8763]

You should always run DISM before SFC. DISM repairs the component store that SFC uses to repair the system files, so doing it in the opposite order doesn't make sense.

[@colobisman6132]

I'd forgotten about these commands. Thanks for the refresh.

[@LironSegev]

glad to help!

[@truegret7778]

Great tips. Does this hold true for laptops with an SSD? Or do/should we run something else?

[@tiocfaidh28]

Thank you Liron. In relation to commands such as sfc /scannow. What do you do when the result is that it couldn't fix/repair all? You therefore have a link where you are supposed to do this manually. How do you do this? Thank you.

[@killerthegamer7399]

I'd also recommend to change the hard drive and get an SSD so no more headache 💪

SSD is better for sure, but its not a quick fix and costs money. But yes, long term, SSD is highly recommended!

If you run windows 8.1 and do the command prompt and it tells you you need to be in elevated mode. Go to the start, screen, type in command prompt then hold control+shift +enter at the same time a dialog box will pop up click yes and then do what you need to do in command prompt.

With SFC and DISM it is not easy in business enviroment if you do not know the exact build of win 10 or 11.

[@clash5j]

Liron, would it be better to use the DISM "Check Health" or "Scan Health" option before resorting to the "Restore Health"?

[@RealPi]

Yes, it would be. In fact, check health is mostly useless, I'd go straight for scan health and if that fails only then try a restorehealth

[@solomoncyj]

winget can be installed manually through github if you want the pre-release version

[@limpep]

chkdsk seems to have mixed results on a SSD especially on the C drive, I assume due to bootloader. Would be careful.

[@kevinoconnor6570]

AS a matter of interest what was the actual problem with the laptop? You could also use DISKPART to scrub the disk using the clean option. Fairly easy to follow.

[@LironSegev]

loads of corruptions. If I had more time with it, I would have made an image backup on an external drive, and repartitioned it after a fresh format and then restored the image.

Winget is amazing. I canceled my first run when it appeared to get hung up on the download for 7-zip. So I go to the site. Turns out it sends out the bytes by the kilobyte, and it takes a while to download the 1.5MB. I restart winget and it gets the rest of the list (except for chrome's update; no worries, I'll do it myself). I liked its download of belarc. No supplying another email address to them.

I remember we use to always muck with our computers, back in the day. I forget to bother checking our modern computers because they run pretty well. (Sort of like our cars. Always had our heads under the bonnet. Only look there now to fill the washer bottle.) When I get a new computer & have all my programs installed & running sweet I clone (Clonezilla) it & if something goes wrong, just re-image the machine. I also use a program called Sync to back up data.
