Jason,
Well, almost.
If an update alters system files then it is supposed to do two things:
- Create a backup copy of the new file in a location that SFC uses to do its comparison, and
- Alter the SFC 'manifest' so that SFC knows what it is supposed to be checking.
Sometimes updates get it wrong, as discussed earlier in the thread.
The most effective protection against any need to reset or take other drastic action is to make frequent system images.
I make a new one each month & I keep several of the old ones.
If an update were to wreck my Windows then I'd restore the system image.
- I'd try to fix the fault.
- If I was not able to, I'd try to uninstall the update.
- If the fault persisted, I'd restore the last system image.
- Then I'd try to update again.
All the best,
Denis
