Keeps pausing during Restore Win Default File Permissions

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
On the Win 7 machine(s) run a command prompt as an admin by going Start - type cmd - right click on cmd and select Run as administrator - accept the UAC and enter sfc /scannow to see what that reports.

If it reports it is unable to repair some files then run SFCFix.exe from http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sfcfix.html which will produce a more concise report of any corruption and may even fix what the sfc was unable to.

For the Win 8 and 10 machines, open Command Prompt (Admin) and enter -

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

This can appear to hang at 20% but will complete, then follow that with a sfc /scannow to see if any corruption remains.
