Hello,

 

Try this command: 

 

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Run it in cmd?

Yes open Command Prompt has admin and then run the command. 

 

The command above will only check if there's issues. If you want to correct them you'll need to use this one: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

After doing both of them sfc /scannow still said there was errors that couldnt be fixed

I've done some research and I've found that Microsoft is working on a fix for SFC, because there's a false positive right now. Maybe they've already fixed the issue, I would suggest that you do all your Windows Updates and check if you still have the problem.

But when your system crash do you see a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)?

Nah I just had some prograam crashing   and exxplorer crashes cause I was just pushing the comp way to hard.

Figured I would do a check up though because of it, I dunno if the errors in sfc are related at all.

You can check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives just to be sure everything is ok since you have random crashes. You can use a software like Crystal Disk Info to check if everything is fine.

I dont think its anything to do with the drives, im pretty sure the crashing was just a 1 off, I was multitasking very hard at the time.

I will take a peek later though I got company coming over, I am just annoyed at these sfc errors because its a fresh windows install.

FYI I just ran the command and I have the same "issue" on my side, so I really think this is a bug that Microsoft will fix at some point.

Hopefully that is the case.
