    The only recommendation I would make to you is verbally tell people when you are leaving spaces before your backslashes. It's kind of important as everyone will find out as they attempt to follow your advice. And maybe you should consider removing bad advice from other commenters such as those that suggest running format C: to screw with newbies.

    Much needed much appreciated. Liking you approach so far Suggest one video using terminal and one doing the same thing without the terminal. I realise more can be done through using terminal but newbies like meprefer spending more time getting our work done than working on the machinery picking up clues along the way. Such mundane things as saving a Libre doc in a new folder. I did eventually work out how by switching from the libre menue to file manager then back to the libre save menue. but am left wondering is there a better way.

    James, I enjoyed your video. Very informative. I was most interested in how you shared that File History folder. For months I have been trying to share folders on the data drives of my 3 Dell Computers all running Windows 11 on my local ethernet network. I have had no success in having these files accessible in File Explorer > Network (even with Microsoft Tech Support!) Please do a video on this (seemingly easy) process, i.e. to share data drive files between 3 computers, running Windows 11, on a local ethernet network. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.

    How does "dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth" deal with updates? You said it restores corrupt files to their original. What about all the updates that have gone on? Are corrupted files tossed for earlier versions?

    as far as the last bit you talked about windows installation media. would it remove any files from pc? i keep running into issue with nearly EVERY Microsoft update where nothing will load or open including cmd and task mngr. wont even allow shutdwn or restart. i am beyond frustrated with their BS. ive git a 4mth old and when i finally have ME time i dont wanna spend it troublshooting and reinstalling windows and all my games ect. any advice for this kinda nonsense? sry for grammar baby in on my lap :)

      Actually, you can use this as far back as windows 7. I just showed the steps in 11 because thats what I have. Steps in older versions of windows are mostly identical, again just open up either command line or powershell with admin and run the commands as I show in the video.

    great video, but I just had to pause to tell you this: You are wrong about "dism /online" It does NOT check against some Microsoft hosted image over the internet. What they mean by "online" is the image which is actually in use by the windows kernel. Dism can also operate against images which aren't currently running and exist in, for instance, WIM files. (Windows image files)

    • @ernestogrimes
      @ernestogrimes 6 місяців тому

      came here to say the same, also dism does not check for filesystem corruption it checks for file integrity you want chkdsk for filesystem integrity. and one last bit the /checkhealth deos not check any files it simply reports if corruption has already been flagged

    Good Information, I made a note of it all. Now a question. My system has been hacked and the hacker continues to be a big problem for me. I have found no software that can track and identify the hacker so I assume I'll need a professional that specializes in this work. I've checked with our local & state law enforcement but they cannot help. Do you have any suggestions? This hacker has destroyed over a million dollars of business files and prevented me from working on my computer for a long time. Is there any federal agency that will help? I'm sure there are more questions but I cannot think of them. ANY and ALL recommendations would be very helpful and appreciated .....

  • @TOTALLYRELAXED
    @TOTALLYRELAXED 6 місяців тому

    As a computer operator since 1984 I’ve used the SFC /SCANNOW command more times than I even wanna remember. I’ve yet to have it fix ANYTHING …instead I always get a pop up message that’s says “we found errors but cannot fix them…please try again later or seek help somewhere else” or something very close to that (I was paraphrasing). So, I’m sure you know already that between 1984 and 2024 I’ve had ‘several’ PCs and ‘several’ laptops along the way in that 40 year span starting with Windows 3.1…so this problem I’ve explained can’t possibly be related to one device being 40 years old. Microsoft is a joke this day and time, and, now they’re threatening everyone with Windows 10 if you don’t update to Windows 11 (still buggy I might add) or you’ll have to pay until they decide to quit providing all updates to Windows 10. Seems like to me every ‘update’ either screws up your computer or adds a ton of unnecessary bloatware. Really Microsoft? SMH.

    NO. Finally a geek that claims it's easy but it is not. This is a frustration rant. It wasn't until the end of the video that you mumbled something about windows 11 and 10. It took me awhile to figure out that you were talking about 'command prompt'. That other thing does not exist on my windows 10 machine. THEN my version of DISM does NOT recognize anything about cleanup-image / etc. Finally I tried SFC. That worked. It told me it corrected something. Good enough. I'm not about to step into a pile of something like this again for some time. Good night.
