My wife and I are Americans happily retired in Mexico. We upgraded three single language (Spanish) laptops to Windows 10 from 8.1 with no problems. I got into PowerShell but it rejects sfc /scannow. I need the Spanish equivalent, and I can't find it on the web.
Any brilliant suggestions?
I don't think you can run SFC from powershell. You should run it from Command Prompt (Admin) that you find by right clicking on the start icon.
or here:
Start a Command Prompt as an Administrator
The issue is that I can get into PowerShell on a Spanish computer. But it rejects sfc /scannow. I need the Spanish equivalent, which I cannot find on the web.
Hi, as said above, if you open a command prompt window sfc is recognised. That's the most common way I guess.
To run it, it must be an elevated (admin) command prompt.
So (e..g.)
Press windows key + W, click 'command prompt (admin)' and in that window type at the prompt
sfc /scannow <Return>
Also an admin powershell window works:
If you don't see the equivalent on your PC, could you perhaps post a screenshot to show what's going on? Thanks!
I think "big guess" the issue is, he needs the Spanish spelling for sfc/scannow? But, does it actually work that way?
Perhaps here: http://windowsespanol.about.com/od/R...fc-Scannow.htm
Got it! For reasons I don't understand, when you get to the box where you type powershell (in an English version), you have to type sfc /scannow.
It is running now.
Thank you for all your help.
