If you find that your computer frequently crashes or crashes during startup, etc., then the most likely cause is that Windows system files are corrupted, lost, or even changed when you install a program or certain software on your computer.
While Windows 10 protects the system files needed for your computer to function properly, application files, drivers, and even Windows Update are pretty good. However, in some cases, errors can still occur.
It is also integrated with System File Checker (SFC) in Windows 10, as it was in previous versions of Windows.This utility will scan, verify, and repair any corrupted files on your system.
1. How to use SFC/scannow on Windows 10
1. Press the Windows + X key combination to open the Power User Menu and then select Command Prompt (Admin). The reason is that you have to run the SFC command under Admin rights.
2. In the Command Prompt window, enter the following command and press Enter:
sfc /scannow
3. After the scan is complete, you will see one of the following messages on the screen:
• Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations: There are no lost or corrupted files on your system.
• Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation: If this message appears, it means that there is a problem during the scanning process and requires offline scanning.
• Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%LogsCBSCBS.log: You'll receive this message if SFC is able to fix the problem you're having. You can now scroll through or view detailed information.
• Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them: Trong trường hợp này bạn phải khắc phục các file bị lỗi bằng tay.
2. Run SFC/Scannow on other drives
SFC/Scannow can also be used to check and repair non-system files on other drives, such as D: or an external hard drive, USB, SD card, or other storage media. To run a scan on such drives, you need to slightly modify the command as shown below. The rest of the process is the same as above.
To view the details of a System File Checker stored in the CBS.Log file, you must copy a readable copy to the Desktop:
1. Press Windows + X to open Menu Power User and select Command Prompt.
2. On Command Prompt window, type below command and press Enter:
3.Open sfclogs.txt on the Desktop with Notepad. This file will contain all the details of the scanned system files and information about the files that cannot be repaired.
Note: SFC scan details are only available when scanning in Windows; they are not available when scanning offline in a command prompt.
If you must know what the SFC file cannot repair, use the Find function in the text application with the phrase "can not repair". You can also use "repair" and "repaired" to see any files that have been repaired.
Use "repair" and "repaired" to see any files that have been repaired
Use "corrupt" to detect damage (corruption) in different applications. If the file cannot be repaired easily, then you need to replace and remove it. This was displayed in the final status message: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them".

4. Run SFC scan in Safe Mode
If you see the second status message during the system scan: “Windows Resource Protection could not perform the request’ted operation” then the SFC scan must be performed in Safe Mode. To access it, select “Change advanced startup options” from the Start menu.
Select “Change advanced startup options” from the Start menu

A blue screen will appear. Using your keyboard's arrow keys, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options, which will lead to the next screen below.

5. Type Yes and press Enter to override to verify.
After replacing the files, you can enter the SFC/verifyonly command into the Command Prompt window and then press Enter to check the integrity of all files and identify which files are corrupted to fix.

Connecting a USB-RF mouse
