I had some issues with my Windows 10 computer at home. I did some research, and came up with this batch file to freshen and check all of the operating system files. Save this as Fix10.cmd (or Fix10.bat) and run it with admin rights.

Title Running Windows 10 File Integrity Command 3 of 4
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
rem Important: When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions.
rem However, if your Windows Update client is already broken, use a running Windows installation as the repair source,
rem or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from a removable media,
rem such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files.
rem To do this, run the following command instead:
rem DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess
rem Note Replace the C:\RepairSource\Windows placeholder with the location of your repair source.
echo It will take several minutes for the command operation to be completed.
