A desktop technician needs to repair suspected system file corruption on a Windows workstation where the local Windows component store itself might be damaged. What is the correct sequence of repair steps the technician should perform?
- 1Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- 2Execute `dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth` to repair the Windows component store.
- 3Execute `sfc /scannow` to scan and replace corrupted operating system files.
- 4Restart the workstation to complete pending file replacements.
Answer
The technician must first open an elevated Command Prompt, execute DISM to repair the component store, run SFC to repair corrupted system files, and restart the workstation to finalize updates.
The correct repair sequence begins with launching an elevated command shell. Next, DISM is executed to fix the Windows Component Store payload. Once DISM finishes successfully, SFC is run to replace damaged OS binaries using the clean store. Finally, restarting the system applies changes to locked files.
