admin on this windows 10 I am unable to search
265.68 -> as well so i will open cmd another way using task
manager so anyhow you have to open cmd as admin
277.84 -> now before we run the system file checker command
we have to check if windows 10 or Windows
283.04 -> 11 image file is corrupt or fine so you have to
execute this DISM command DISM online cleanup image
291.12 -> scan health given in the video description so copy
and paste then press enter and it will check the
298.4 -> health of image file on your windows 10 or
Windows 11 and in my case no component store

totally fine on this computer in your case if it

the health of windows 10 or windows 11 image file
318.16 -> using this command and it will take some another
20 or 25 minutes depending on the internet speed
324.96 -> as well after that, you have to run the SFC command
SFC space forward slash scan now and press enter
334.56 -> and this will take some time to verify the system
files and if it finds any corrupted files then it
