[@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!

@@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.

[@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!!

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

[@dearicpayne]

Thanks!

[@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

[@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?

[@TonyKoji]

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!

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.

[@-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!

[@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!

[@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.

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

[@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.

Thanks Liron you videos are concise and to the point with no BS. A rarity online these days.

[@paulbowden6955]

[@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.

[@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.

It goes without saying that you cannot access the main screen if a laptop or computer crashes. How would you like to use the CD 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. Even if you do, finding installation media for particular enterprise edition is near impossible. But yes, if you have a home or professional edition and you have that particular build installation media, then these commands are great.

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

[@semibiotic]

You, actually could run chkdsk with both /f (scan&fix filesystem) and /r (scan&fix disk surface (=all clusters)), if needed.

[@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.

[@Apeiron242]

I love Winget! I use DBAN on DoD settings for wiping.

[@clint1285]

Know how to stop windows from freezing for 20 secs after right clicking on a folder? I've tried everything....

[@mrsmith5114]

what about using /x with chkdsk? /x option will force the volume you’re about to check to be dismounted before the utility begins a scan.

[@franshendrix1404]

Checking takes ages. ckdsk /f is slow, but laptop is old too. Some advice from tech peeps: this laptop sometimes beeps at the start of booting. I have to hard reset it via the on/off switch. What could cause it? Also since the keyboard of it does not work and I need an usb keyboard, I notice that often automaticakly either the Enter us triggered or the search for the number 4. So shutting down is tricky. I also see sometines that when going to shut down the sleep option is selected and is shaking a bit. What could cause these issues? Is this device in need of a replacement?

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

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.
