My goal in this blog is to emphasize the value and importance of scheduling the SFC /scannow operation, and preparing yourself for its use in response to suspected (or actual) damage to your Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating systems. LexisNexis offers a detailed step by step process for creating scheduled command line Task Scheduler entries. My recommendation: create a weekly Task Scheduler task that runs the System File Checker (SFC) with the /scannow switch. A sound practice that proactively addresses file access efficiency and therefore system performance. In Windows 7 and Windows 8, Microsoft schedules Disk Defragmenter to launch at 1 AM every Wednesday morning. Both scheduled and random reviews of the operating system must be elements of our vigilance. No matter how proactive we become, cyber criminals will continue to pursue efforts to intrude, destroy, or disrupt system performance. With the recent (May 2014) occurrence of a significant Windows Internet Explorer bug, we are reminded of the potential for Windows OS intrusion and damage.
