Repair System File with Easy Ways

Have you ever encountered a corrupted system file when running your computer? If you do, just feel at ease. This post from EaseUS will help you repair system files with two simple ways. Read and do as follows.

Have you ever double-clicked a file only to be greeted by an error message, a blank screen, or scrambled content? File corruption is a common digital headache, but the good news is that you can often repair these files and recover your data. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to effectively repair system files and personal documents.

First Thing To Do: Identify the Type of Corruption

Prior to undertaking a series of repairs, understand first what is wrong:

• System Files: If your operating system is unstable, apps crash randomly, or you see system error messages, core system files may be damaged.
• Personal Files: If certain files, such as photographs, movies, Word documents, or PDFs, fail to load or are not displayed properly, the issue lies with those files.

Fix 1. Utilize the Operating System's Own Tools to Repair System Files

Windows and macOS each have built-in tools to help fix system files.

▶️On Windows:

Step 1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.

Step 2. Type now and press Enter. This System File Checker scans and automatically repairs Windows system files.

For deeper issues, one may use DISM, which stands for "Deployment Image Servicing and Management," in conjunction with DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.

▶️On macOS:

Step 1. Restart your Mac, then hold down the Command + R keys to enter Recovery Mode.

Step 2. Open the Disk Utility from the Utilities window.

Step 3. Choose your startup disk and select "First Aid" to check and clean your disk directory permissions.

❌Limitations: These tools are great for ensuring stability in an operating system, but do not recover your personal images, documents, or movies.
