Answer 1

Hi ,

No, let me explain: you will open the command prompt as an administrator.

To open it as an administrator, you can right-click on the start menu and select Windows Powershell (admin) or Terminal (admin).

You will enter the commands in sequence: 1st "sfc /scannow" wait for the process to finish, then enter the 2nd "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

Answer 5

Hi ,

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

Well, an alternative solution would be to turn off the computer after turning it off, you can safely disconnect the USB flash drive.

Try to solve the problem at the command prompt and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, restart the computer.
