Which is better SFC or DISM?
When the System File Checker (SFC) cannot resolve issues on a computer, the DISM utility is often employed. The DISM tool can repair Component Store Corruption, which is known to hinder SFC Scan from operating correctly on a computer when it is used.
When should I use DISM?
The Dism and SFC commands are used to find and repair corrupted files on Windows. You should run these commands when you are receiving error messages, or your computer is slowing down. If you want to run these commands preventively you can do it once a month.
Is CHKDSK better than SFC?
Both have almost the same function, which is to detect file errors. However, SFC has its specifications for the Windows series mentioned above. Not only that, but SFC will also automatically take action, unlike CHKDSK, which tends to only "report."
Will CHKDSK fix corrupt files?
CHKDSK is not a data recovery tool and will not repair corrupted files or recover lost or damaged files. But it does check if the state of the information on your disk is safe and consistent, and CHKDSK can help you repair formatting issues with your hard drive.
