Slow Windows PC? Run THESE TWO Commands First! If your Windows 10/11 PC is slow, glitchy, or just “off,” don’t jump straight to reinstalling Windows or buying new hardware. First, repair the core of the system with TWO built-in tools from Microsoft: DISM and SFC! These commands scan and repair corrupted Windows system files, fix a damaged system image, and often restore stability and performance WITHOUT wiping your files, removing your apps, or using sketchy “debloat” tools. ⚡️ Best practice: run DISM FIRST, then SFC: 1️⃣ Step 1 – Repair the Windows image (DISM) Run this in Command Prompt or PowerShell **as Administrator**: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - Checks and repairs the Windows component store (the source Windows uses to fix itself) - Uses official Microsoft files so future repairs are clean - Safe for your main PC and your personal files 2️⃣ Step 2 – Repair system files (SFC) After DISM finishes, run: sfc /scannow - Scans all protected system files - Replaces corrupted or modified files with clean copies - Helps fix random crashes, weird lag, and “Windows just being Windows” issues - ⚠️ If SFC reports that it found and fixed issues, it’s best to **run `sfc /scannow` again** until it reports no remaining integrity violations. That way you know everything it can repair has actually been repaired. These are built-in, Microsoft-supported tools designed to be safe to run on your main Windows install. They don’t erase your documents, photos, or games, they focus on the system files that keep Windows running correctly. ✅ My recommendation: - Run DISM 👉 let it complete 100% - Run SFC 👉 if it finds issues, run SFC again until it comes back clean - Restart your PC when both are done Then see if your Windows feels smoother, more stable, and less buggy. 🚀 Want more real-world Windows fixes, security breakdowns, and deep AI and tech content?
