Thankfully, running macOS anymore, I don't have to use these, but I still run them every once in a while on my work laptop. These are great "Tune Up" commands to run to keep your Windows system in good health. I still remember them by heart from my old job.

Run these in Command Prompt, but with administrator privileges.

Restore Health:
Code:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

System File Checker:
Code:
sfc /scanow

Check and Repair Bad Sectors:
Code:
chkdsk C: /f /r

Also, I would run the built-in Windows cleanup every once in a while to free up space from Windows updates, etc. These are all built in commands and tools with no software to install.
