Run an SFC Scan
SFC is a system file checker that Windows users can use to identify and restore damaged files. However, it may cause blank desktop icons.
To run an SFC Scan, follow these steps:
- Open the Windows search bar, and type cmd.
- Right-click the Command Prompt app > select Run as administrator from the menu.
- Type the following command into Command Prompt and press Enter: sfc /scannow
- An information panel will then be displayed to inform the user of any damaged files that need to be repaired and replaced with new files as the process.
