About this tag
The online repair tag on WindowsForum.com covers the use of built-in Windows tools like DISM and SFC to fix system file corruption and other issues while the operating system is running. Discussions include step-by-step guides for running DISM to repair the component store and then SFC to restore protected files, as well as troubleshooting scenarios where corrupt files are found after a fresh Windows 10 or 11 installation.

Common themes include recovering from BSODs, app failures, slowdowns, and failed updates without resorting to a full reinstall.
