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.

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