Give it a try and have some fun !

The “Deployment Image Servicing and Management” tool (DISM) is a helpful, but advanced tool to scan, alter, and repair any Windows 11 system issues. A lot of OS problems such as poor performance, boot-up issues or specific crashes can come down to a corrupted system file.

Before you run the DISM repair, it’s important that you run a disk check to spot and repair any issues in the file system. Not doing this will render the follow up DISM and SFC repairs useless.

How to run chkdsk tool ?

1. Open Command Prompt as administrator
2. Enter this command
3. Press Enter

1
chkdsk c: /f /r

You will then see a prompt to run this disk check on restart, type Y and press Enter again. From this point, when you restart the computer, it will perform the check.

The startup process will give you an option to skip the disk check if you need to get to Windows quickly. If you don’t need to open fast, do not interrupt the disk check and leave it to do its thing.

How to run DISM tool ?

1. Open Command Prompt as administrator
2. Enter this command
3. Press Enter

1
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

This will command the DISM tool to do a quick sweep of the system and verify any corrupted data. More deep scan and identify corruptions you use different switch

1
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

This will take some time, but will identify the specific file corruptions. If any corruption has been find run this command to fix it

1
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Just like ScanHealth, this will take some time, and it may look like it’s frozen when you see the % progress bar stop for a while. But trust the system — it’s downloading and replacing the corrupted files you find. Sit tight, it will take some time to complete.

The last free tool is SFC – System File Checker – If your issues are more about the setup of Windows itself, or if you want to double check that DISM did the trick, that’s where the System File Checker (SFC) comes in.

1. Open Command Prompt as administrator
2. Enter this command
3. Press Enter

1
SFC /scannow

This will do a sweep of everything and repair any system files using your (now fixed) local image files. Make sure that if any errors are found, you run it a couple more times. SFC /scannow has a bit of a reputation for not fixing much the first time around.

Windows:

Open a command prompt or the terminal and type systeminfo. You find the installation date in the field Original Install Date.

Linux – Ubuntu:

Open the terminal and run this command to find the line with “Birth” in the output of the stat tool:

1
sudo stat / | awk '/Birth: /{print $2}'

Open File Station and create a main folder under docker and name in lowercase as youtubedl.

Under the main folder youtubedl, you will need to create these subfolders:

• appdata
• audio
• subscriptions
• users
• video

Next stop is open Control Panel -> Scheduled Task – Create -> user-defined script

On first General tab, select user as root, uncheck box and name it as youtubedl.

Skip Schedule tab and under Task Settings add email if you configure email notifications (not required) and under Run command copy and paste this code:

docker run -d --name=youtube_downloader \

-p 8084:17442 \

-v /volume1/docker/youtubedl/subscriptions:/app/subscriptions \

-v /volume1/docker/youtubedl/users:/app/users \

-v /volume1/docker/youtubedl/video:/app/video \

--restart always \
