    [SOLVED] What is the write size of a sfc /scan and can doing a scan ever mess up system files/permissions at any time?

    Does anyone know about how many gigabytes a sfc scan does? Does the size equal the system file size of ALL windows installation files, and if so how big/what portion is it? Will it only scan the OS drive?

    [SOLVED] Set sfc /scannow to autorun on a schedule?

    I am usually pretty adept at Google searches. I found one article with guidance on using the Task Scheduler to autorun SFC /scannow on a schedule. But it didn't work, and the task never ran. So, I wonder whether you can recommend an approach that works. I am on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit system.

    [SOLVED] Why do SSDs not require CHKDSK/SFC operations to be done as frequent as HDD does?

    When these hard drive fixing operations are done, do they generally just read the SSD if there is nothing that needs to be fixed? Are these commands as write heavy if they do not detect any errors? Are there any "safe" variants of CHKDSK that it wouldn't hurt to do once in a while for SSD...

    Question Sfc shows false reports/fixes files that do not need to be fixed?

    Even on a brand new NVMe SSD with a clean install of windows, after windows updates and updating drivers doing sfc /scannow seems to complete saying "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them." I checked with sfc /verifyonly and found violations again...

    Hi. I recently purchased a Corsair h100i v2 240mm AIO cooler. I noticed that there is a gap between the fans and the radiator due to the screws being too long. That also causes audible vibration on the case. My idea was to install two 120mm fan gaskets under the fans. My question is, is it...
