Windows 10 maintenance

Fix bugs and improve performance by running through the below process.

Step 1: System File Checker

Run cmd.exe as an administrator

sfc /scannow

Check the results:

• If no corrupt files found, skip step 2.
• If corrupt files found and successfully repaired them, go to step 2.

Step 2: Run an online repair

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Once it's done - restart computer.

Optional: Clean up disk

Run cmd.exe as an administrator

cleanmgr /verylowdisk

Optional: Setup Storage Sense to cleanup disk regularly

1. In the start menu, search for "Storage Sense"
2. Configure Storage Sense
3. Empty bin after 30 days, check with customer if ok to empty Downloads after x Days.
   OneDrive - content will become online-only: 30 days

Encouraged: Clean up unwanted software

Keeping third party software down to a minimum helps reduce potential complications. Consider removing software previously installed, that is no longer required.

Third party antivirus also causes complications compared to the native Windows Security.

If you suspect adware or potentially unwanted software installed:

Download and run Adwcleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner
