How to Repair Corrupted Windows 10 System Files?

[Master Razor]

Simple.
Mount your windows 10 iso in daemon tools (or other program).
Open a cmd as administrator and type:
Dism /image:C: /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:wim:E:\sources\install.wim

Where E:\ is your CD/DVD letter.

Is that better than sfc /scannow?

[Master Razor]

Yes, because it takes the files from the original iso rather than a (possible) corrupted windows winsxs folder.

The equivalent for this on windows 7 is to boot the iso and select upgrade, that will overwrite all corrupted files.

I'm downloading a new iso using media creation tool. I will try this after it finishes download. Btw is there any good software for checking the health of hard drives?. I have seagate expansion hard drive(1tb). I'd like to scan it for errors.

Does this look ok? Can anyone explain the warning highlighted in yellow?

[Master Razor]

Yes. It's fine.
In the future, you'll only need to worry about Reallocated Sector Count and Reallocated Evenet Count. If either of these have a value greater than 0, then it would be wise to move your important data out of that HDD.

Thanks for the answer. I have one more question. How do i verify of downloaded files? Which software do you recommend?

[Master Razor]

Verify, in what way? Antivirus or.. Checksum (integrity)?

[Codec]

Not antivirus, i mean checksum.

[Master Razor]

For now, I'm using:

HashCheck for single files
RapidCRC for many files

Get and install SeaTools for Windows from Seagate's Web site, it will be better than anything else.

Master Razor - It stays like this without any change.

Unable to access the image.
Make sure that the image path and the Windows directory for the image exist and you have Read permissions on the folder.

Did you check that the WIM path is correct? What about replacing /image:C: with /online?
