Level: Recommended For Experts Only
Description:
System file checker permits the administartor to scan all the protected files to verify their versions. It also checks and repopulates the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder. If the dllcache folder becomes damaged or unusable, you can repair the contents of the folder through either the sfc /scanonce or sfc /scanboot command. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. Create a reg_dword value name " sfcshowprogress" (if this value doesn't exist). Right click on the option sfcshowprogress, and from the drop down menu, select modify. Enter the value "0" to enable the setting. Close the registry. Restart the system. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
