System File Checker

The SFC tool is accessed through the command prompt(administrator), and checks the integrity of all protected Windows system files. 

How it works:
The /scannow command instructs SFC to scan for and replace any incorrect, corrupted, changed, or damaged versions of protected system files with a cached copy. 

Where to find the cached copy:
The cached copy is located in a compressed folder at %WinDir%System32dllcache. 

How to run it:

Open Command Prompt as an administrator (right-click Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator"). 

Type    sfc /scannow    and press Enter. 

Wait for the scan to complete (this may take some time). 

What to expect:
You'll see a message indicating whether any integrity violations were found and if they were successfully repaired. 

Important Note:
Do not close the Command Prompt window until the verification is 100% complete.
