    1. Open Command Prompt as administrator.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    sfc /scannow
    
    1. Wait for the scan to complete. SFC will automatically repair any corrupted system files that it finds.

    Method 2: Run Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)

    DISM is another built-in Windows tool that can be used to repair system image problems. To run DISM:

    1. Open Command Prompt as administrator.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    
    1. Wait for the scan to complete. DISM will automatically repair any system image problems that it finds.

    Method 3: Run Startup Repair

    Startup Repair is a tool that can be used to fix problems that prevent Windows from starting correctly. To run Startup Repair:

    1. Boot into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).
    2. On the WinRE screen, click Troubleshoot.
    3. Click Advanced options.
    4. Click Startup Repair.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the repair.

    If you are unable to boot into Windows normally, you can try booting into Safe Mode with Command Prompt. To do this:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. As soon as your computer starts to restart, press and hold the F8 key.
    3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
    4. Press Enter.

    Once you are in Safe Mode with Command Prompt, you can follow the steps above to run SFC, DISM, or Startup Repair.

    If you have tried all of the above methods and you are still unable to repair Windows, you may need to reinstall Windows.
