Run the SFC Check Using the Command Prompt<\/h3><p>System File Checker (SFC) is a tool that helps ensure Windows files are not damaged or corrupted. It does this by checking each file&rsquo;s version number and digital signature against a list of trusted versions maintained in the Windows Registry. If SFC finds a problem with any of your system files, it will attempt to replace and therefore fixes the issue.<\/p><p>To perform the SFC, follow the steps below:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n\n<li>Click on the&nbsp;<strong>Start menu<\/strong>, type&nbsp;<strong>CMD<\/strong>, right-click on&nbsp;<strong>Command Prompt,&nbsp;<\/strong>and press&nbsp;<strong>Run as administrator<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Now type in the following commands one by one and press&nbsp;<strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul><p><strong>sfc\/scannow<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/SFC-2-1024x568.png\" alt=\"SFC\" class=\"wp-image-115277 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/SFC-2-1024x568.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/SFC-2-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/SFC-2-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/SFC-2-1536x852.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/SFC-2-1568x870.png 1568w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/SFC-2.png 1838w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Restart<\/strong>&nbsp;your device when the process finishes.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-clean-junk-files\">7.

It is a software solution that helps you get back lost data from your hard drive in three simple steps.<\/p><p>Stellar Data Recovery is designed to work no matter your problem. Whether your hard drive has been corrupted by a virus or some other malicious software or if there was an accidental deletion or overwriting of files, Stellar Data Recovery helps you restore your lost data.<\/p><p>You can use the instructions below to download and restore your lost files using Stellar Data Recovery:<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-i-do-if-my-computer-won-t-boot-up\">What should I do if my computer won&rsquo;t boot up?<\/h3><p>A clean Windows installation may be necessary if your computer either won&rsquo;t boot at all or immediately shows the BSoD error. You should back up your data first, though, because a clean install will overwrite everything.<\/p><p>Some data recovery programs need your computer to boot up before they can retrieve your data. It&rsquo;s essential to mention, however, that Stellar Data Recovery Professional can retrieve data even if your computer is&nbsp;unbootable.<\/p><p>Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Windows allows you to retrieve deleted data from a specified drive.
