Repair Windows without reinstalling
Before reinstalling, try repairing. PCVitalis runs Windows' own repair tools from the dashboard and shows the result.
Available repairs
- DISM: repairs the Windows image
- sfc: checks and fixes system files
- chkdsk: checks and fixes the disk
- Free up WinSxS space
- Reset the network
- Clear a stuck print queue
In the right order
The full repair runs DISM and then sfc. It takes 15 to 40 minutes and you follow it from the dashboard.
Fix by symptom
When you don't know where to start, pick what the client is seeing and PCVitalis applies the fix tied to that symptom. Each fix checks the result at the end and tells you when that was not the problem.
chkdsk can check right away, with Windows running, or schedule the repair for the next restart.
