How To Land A Six-Figure Job In 2024: The 5 Most In-Demand Skills Employers Are Looking For
running sfc actually fixed my network ethernet connection. works like a charm
I feel much better about how my pc is doing, great guidance!
Good
Will these commands fix random freeze issue with my win 10? Thanks
Yes it can. But many things can cause random freezes such as bad drivers, corruption, etc. But this is one of the tools that can help.
Thank you
Things for Information ❤🎉
I like your video but this background music is horrible.
Background music is actually a reason for me not to watch a video.
Yeah, we are working on that. I appreciate the feedback.
Very pleasant way of explaining. I'm watching from Germany and can understand every single word without any problems. Not the usual croaking :-) -- Thank you! 👍
WOW! Thank You.
Great overview, hope it goes viral man!
Great video, very informative. Also your voice has a very Owen Wilson timbre
Make your screen bigger. We can't see what you're typing.
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.
Thank you for the God Mode which I didn't know. Note that Windows did let me rename its icon but then, when I double-clicked on it, Explorer displayed an empty folder 😆
I LOVE random cmd lines!
Do these commands need to be done inside powershell only? Can't they be done inside CMD admin as well....thanks!
You are correct, they can be ran inside CMD or powershell. I just used powershell as that is the default shell in modern windows.
if or which cloud storage is good for installing server on? stable and safe,please? thank you
Honestly any cloud service, use one you want to learn or use. Its really more about how you setup your server than anyting else, but the nice part of this project, even if it goes down or you have an issue you can spin up a new server anywhere in just minutes as you can see from this video.
This is really interesting and pretty cool!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Can you please publish here the reference you are referring to? Thank you
Sure! Its NIST 800-145: nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-145.pdf
Thank you. Got it. Appreciate your quick response.
Impressively straightforward and to the point.
Thank you, thats the goal.
@@jamesonit Thank YOU sir. I've subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos. Hopefully they will help keep my technophpobia in check!
none of this worked on mine. came up differently and different directories.
40 Seconds in ; i'm guess - timating, SFC ....system file checker.....
Thanks, James. My Win 11 PC has been having trouble after every MS forced update for the past year (Black screen after boot that required logging off/on just to see desktop icons, lockups during a video, etc). These four tricks seem to have fixed it better than new. Salute from Canada.
sudo rm -rf Windows
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.
Thanks for the reply! Actually I have a video coming out next thursday where I dive into basics of using the terminal. This video is more about how to just get started as if you booted up Linux for the very first time.
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.
Sure, I can do a video on that for you. Thanks for the request!
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?
It uses the correct versions based on what updates you have installed.
does this work on windows 7
Yes
Very useful commands! especially the 1st one!
The "SFC /SCANNOW" has cured faults on my PC a few times.
👍🏻
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 :)
No, this just fixes any damaged or removed system files.
said command is not recognized on my hp with windows 11
you have a good presentation voice and style, well done
this is for win 11 not ten
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.
Running windows 10 upon right clicking on the Start menu I don't see anything like your screen. So are these things only portrayed like this in Windows 11 if so F'en SAY THAT in the beginning Boss.
Your website is broken - Heads Up
Yeah, I got the domain, just haven't built it yet. I will be getting it up soon.
Thanks. Does this work in Win 10 with PowerShell?
Yes it does
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)
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
Install Linux Operating System
Thanks, James, for explaining this so simply even for an 83 year old non geek like me
The background music(crap) is bloody irritating. 1. It is too loud & 2. It is irritatingly repetative
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 .....
Thank you so much, ive had problems with my laptop sice I upgraded to windows 11 and couldnt find any problems, ran the commands you recommended and after the scannow command I received the message corrupt files found and repaired.... So hopefully all will be good once Ive rebooted.
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.
Which version of Windows 10 are you runnibg? My version 10.0.19045 build 19045 shows both Powershell options whm I right click the 'Start' icon.?
Does these commands for Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Yes
what is the WatchDog error
How effective will this be if MS just pushed another update - over my "no automatic updates"?
!(: Cool, THANKS ;)!
