WinFix batch script for repairing many common Windows related problems

[191x7]

I've made a short script that uses CHKDSK, DISM, and SFC to fix many common Windows-related** problems.

The download is at the bottom and here's the whole "code" so you can see it's not something malicious. I've tried explaining each step.

The script needs to be run as administrator in order to work properly.

Hope this helps at least some of you.

 

** This script does not apply to Windows 7, some commands are newer. Should work fine on Win 10 and 8.1.

Then let's continue this back in your thread.

 

Try a clean install of Windows, you might have some malware or something.

Let me fix that admin access option for your script, so that it will automatically ask for admin rights when it's run.

Thank you!

Minor edit to set chkdsk to actually fix any errors found while scanning, and to use the %SYSTEMROOT% variable (a tiny fraction of computers will have Windows on a different drive letter, or perhaps the users starts out under a different drive where they saved the batch file.  %SYSTEMROOT% fixes that)

EDIT: see blurb at the end for a (supposedly better?) method of getting admin as well.  I didn't bother putting that in, though.  It's just in case you found it interesting.

Wouldn't /f ask the user for a reboot to check the drive?

 

I have an upgraded version of the script but all the descriptions for the user are in Croatian. I might translate it to English and post it here.

 

Thanks for all the input and improvements.
