It's surprisingly refreshing when someone reminds me of some misc computer knowledge that was forgotten in the heaps of info from years and years of experience; thank you for that. I made bat files for all of these to make things easier, and I'll probably include them in the scheduler at a later date.
@@LironSegev Maybe you can do a video to explain the bat files and how to include them in the scheduler like ""WARCRIMES" mentioned for those of us that are not as computer literate. I - personally - would greatly appreciate it.
Whoa BAT files, now THAT takes me back, not sure why I didn't think of making a bat file instead of trying to remember all these commands at a moments notice lol
Thank you Liron. I echo previous comments (have used sfc; dism; etc for years - not often enough!!). For me, WINGET TOOL was a revalation. I would never have known it was there. It immediately updated dozens of apps and utilities. I have just subscribed!!
0:53 I’m currently doing the memory check. I’m 54% into it and it’s taking almost an hour so far just for this test. This test alone would’ve killed the one hour time limit. As usual, great video, though!
Great video as always, but I do have a few questions for you regarding Winget. 1. Is it 100% safe or am I vulnerable? 2. Should I agree to the source agreement terms yes/no? 3. How do I know that it will provide me with the latest updates? 4. Does any of the updates have telemetry enabled, as these are user-hostile defaults you don't want?
Excellent, I think I'm not going through your back catalogue to run these updates. Brilliant. Really like the way you've made these videos because there so simple to follow and the language is beginner friendly so it makes sense. Have to say doing the Winget tool, when that was doing its thing, I was worried but it worked! i'm delighted. Thanks
Good review if your computer can boot. How about some advice on how to handle a Windows boot failure? Over the years Windows recovery efforts usually cannot repair the issue and I resort to my last backup. Love your channel!
thanks again for more useful information.... could not get the memory scan to work but the rest sure did... speaking of.... the last thing you said to try.. the winget thing really hit pay dirt for me!!! i was able to get updates to things i didnt know i had but the O.S. still is using to operate. thanks for all THE FREE info, you have saved me LOTS of money.. i owe you more than i can pay...
I simply install a computer program called Deep Freeze standard. It prevents all changes to my C drive and after almost 10 years my computer works like brand new it never needs repair. I showed this software to a repairman and he told me that if his customers installed this software he would be immediately out of business.
Wow, the new winget command is so handy. This caught my eye a few weeks ago during the additional installation of the latest PowerShell version, but the fact that I can update all programs and libraries with it (amazingly independent of the Windows Store) is just super fast and handy. Thanks for this!
I also go into safe mode and get rid of the swap file, then run a defrag. Once that is done, reallocate a swap file once again. Windoze swap file uses standard file allocation methods which could lead to the swap file being placed all over the disk, thus causing performance issues. Placing the swap file on another disk would be best. Of course I have not used windoze for decades, instead I use a much more reliable & solid o/s.
You should always run DISM before SFC. DISM repairs the component store that SFC uses to repair the system files, so doing it in the opposite order doesn't make sense.
I use ssd for the OS and hard drive for media and games. Though for games that load things from the disk a lot (like texture loading) I'd put it in the ssd Ssd on the OS makes the OS faster it seems.
Thank you Liron. In relation to commands such as sfc /scannow. What do you do when the result is that it couldn't fix/repair all? You therefore have a link where you are supposed to do this manually. How do you do this? Thank you.
If you run windows 8.1 and do the command prompt and it tells you you need to be in elevated mode. Go to the start, screen, type in command prompt then hold control+shift +enter at the same time a dialog box will pop up click yes and then do what you need to do in command prompt.
You Sir, are simply brillant. Thankyou. I have one question l cannot find your video on resetting WiFi every day (a small program) that we have to write following your instructions. Thankyou once again.
you are very effective at explaining these precisely and effeciently. Very helpful for reviewing things i may have forgotten throughout the years. Great job and thanks.
Liron - with all the wireless connections these days, is it enough to LOCK Windows 10 PC or Laptop to prevent someone from stealing files stored in PC or Laptop ?
This is very helpful. It is so fascinating that Windows hides all of this stuff (all of these should be readily accessible for a novice to run with basically 1 click).
With SFC and DISM it is not easy in business enviroment if you do not know the exact build of win 10 or 11. Even if you do, finding installation media for particular enterprise edition is near impossible. But yes, if you have a home or professional edition and you have that particular build installation media, then these commands are great.
How about the WIndows built-in "cipher /w:c:\" command which is similar to your sponsor's tool to wipe the empty space on the HD after files have been deleted?

AS a matter of interest what was the actual problem with the laptop? You could also use DISKPART to scrub the disk using the clean option. Fairly easy to follow.
loads of corruptions. If I had more time with it, I would have made an image backup on an external drive, and repartitioned it after a fresh format and then restored the image.
Checking takes ages. ckdsk /f is slow, but laptop is old too. Some advice from tech peeps: this laptop sometimes beeps at the start of booting. I have to hard reset it via the on/off switch. What could cause it? Also since the keyboard of it does not work and I need an usb keyboard, I notice that often automaticakly either the Enter us triggered or the search for the number 4. So shutting down is tricky. I also see sometines that when going to shut down the sleep option is selected and is shaking a bit. What could cause these issues? Is this device in need of a replacement?
Utterly genius and a throw back to my time of dealing with chdsk etc.Making me look good.Keep them coming Liron.
old school is still very much at the heart 👍
@@LironSegevI’ve still got a Windows 95 pc…..yes, it has a diskette drive in it. And still works. Just keeping it as an “old school “ way back machine

I prefer to use Patch my PC, much better
Currently, working through the step on my laptop, I appreciate the distinction I now have between fix and repair
I'd forgotten about these commands. Thanks for the refresh.
glad to help!
This is another KEEPER! Thank you Professor Segev!
Excellent. Precisely what I've been needing all these years.. Many thanks.
This is one very helpful video! Thanks Liron!!
My pleasure!
last two commands are new to me, thank you so much.
Mr Liron Segev, I appreciating for your shared the knowledges.
Appreciate you being here
I've tried several of your videos, I sure hope it helps me. Thanks for what you do to help people like me! Dan

You should always run DISM before SFC. DISM repairs the component store that SFC uses to repair the system files, so doing it in the opposite order doesn't make sense.
I'd also recommend to change the hard drive and get an SSD so no more headache 💪
SSD is better for sure, but its not a quick fix and costs money. But yes, long term, SSD is highly recommended!
@@LironSegev Time is money. and a ssd costs peanut money nowadays...
20-25 bux for 250 gb ssd, it's cheap.
Unless you are in a country where you earn $500 a month. Not everyone can simply drop money on new tech.
@@LironSegev some countries are so poor, they still use cassette tapes to listen to music. Thanks for your latest
I use ssd for the OS and hard drive for media and games. Though for games that load things from the disk a lot (like texture loading) I'd put it in the ssd
Ssd on the OS makes the OS faster it seems.
Thanks, Winget tool was certainly new for me
My computer currently works, but still great video. I learned a lot. Keep it going Liron.
Great tips.
Does this hold true for laptops with an SSD? Or do/should we run something else?
Absolutely amazing, love your videos thank you x
Great video, I always find what you have to say helpful and concise. Keep up the good work.
Awesome vid and information. THANK YOU !!
Thank you Liron. In relation to commands such as sfc /scannow. What do you do when the result is that it couldn't fix/repair all? You therefore have a link where you are supposed to do this manually. How do you do this? Thank you.
Thank you! I use an older computer and it needs exactly this TLC!
Your videos are super useful for a layman like me. Helped to resolve most problems. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I love Winget!
I use DBAN on DoD settings for wiping.

Thanks for showing the helpful methods to fix your PC. 😊👍
A journey down nostalgia lane. ❤️
תודה רבה, לירון!
You, actually could run chkdsk with both /f (scan&fix filesystem) and /r (scan&fix disk surface (=all clusters)), if needed.
Super video buddy, loads of useful tips, thankfully the command promt still exists 👍
Amazing keyboarding tip
all done now ^^ winget is Magic !!!!
Right!
Of all the topics to write Dragon training comes to mind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 amazing content by the way.
Liron - with all the wireless connections these days, is it enough to LOCK Windows 10 PC or Laptop to prevent someone from stealing files stored in PC or Laptop ?
Know how to stop windows from freezing for 20 secs after right clicking on a folder? I've tried everything....

Great video, very useful!
Thanks for being here and hanging out!
Great info. I"m putting this in my Tech support 'playlist'. Very useful and understandable.
Awesome
You are the best genius!!!
winget can be installed manually through github if you want the pre-release version
Ahh green on black. Takes me back to the Infocom days.
How about the WIndows built-in "cipher /w:c:\" command which is similar to your sponsor's tool to wipe the empty space on the HD after files have been deleted?
great video but there is a dash missing on your copy and paste bit in the description for the winget bit
thank you! I have updated it. Appreciate you letting me know 👍
Thank you very helpful and useful will use these commands 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Does the memory diagnostic just check for memory errors or does it also fix them?
chkdsk seems to have mixed results on a SSD especially on the C drive, I assume due to bootloader. Would be careful.
Thanks A Lot Dude :)
Love this channel
Liron, would it be better to use the DISM "Check Health" or "Scan Health" option before resorting to the "Restore Health"?
Yes, it would be. In fact, check health is mostly useless, I'd go straight for scan health and if that fails only then try a restorehealth
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant!! Soooo Helpful!!!! Baie Dankie

Which of these commands will work on my old Vista system?
Cool tutorial
thanks! hope it was helpful
what about Windows 8 commands?
i ran chkdsk /f /r C: and now the process is stuck at 27% for hours
Checking takes ages. ckdsk /f is slow, but laptop is old too.
Some advice from tech peeps: this laptop sometimes beeps at the start of booting. I have to hard reset it via the on/off switch. What could cause it?

Is this device in need of a replacement?
Will these commands also work on windows 7 ?
I haven't thought about check disk for years has it been updated for ssds??
