Note: Though these guides are written for Windows 10 and Windows 8, a very similar process will work for Windows 7, Vista or XP. When your Windows system won’t load normally, start it in Safe Mode or boot off Windows Setup DVD, and you can also use the SFC command to repair corrupt or missing system files, without having to reinstall the whole OS.

SFC is built into Windows 10/8/7/Vista that can scan your system files for corruption or modification.
