The System File Checker (SFC) tool built into Windows will scan your Windows system files for corruption or any other changes. If a file has been modified, it will automatically replace that file with the correct version. If the SFC command doesn’t work, you can also try the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command on Windows 10 or Windows 8 to repair the underlying Windows system image. On Windows 7 and earlier, Microsoft offers a downloadable “System Update Readiness Tool” instead. Let’s take a look at how to use them.

A system crash or bad sectors in the hard drive can lead to corrupted files, which is why it’s crucial to always back up your data. If one of your important files gets corrupted, then sadly it’s very difficult to fix it. You simply can’t recreate data that isn’t even there.

However, there is a slight chance you may be able to fix a file if it’s a minor issue or less data got corrupted. Surely that slight chance is more than enough for you if the file is important. And to help you with that, the following are a few ways to fix damaged or corrupted files in Windows.
