MSFS Crashed, now Win11 corrupt and need some guru advice

If you have the capability, you could try this cause at this point it wouldn’t hurt. I got Step 1 from this forum and just added the others in my notes.

  1. Run these commands from a CMD prompt as Admin
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /checkhealth
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /scanhealth
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth
    sfc /scannow
    Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
    Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

  2. Restart
    If that doesn’t resolve your problem, use a thumb drive to create Windows 11 install media and run it. (I think it’s 8GB minimum). This is a free download. Note that the link below doesn’t indicate that it includes Windows 11 but the web page does offer that option.

  1. Run Setup (it’ll get updates which can take some time).

  2. Make sure ‘Keep Personal files and apps’ is shown and/or selected (in my case anyway).

Good luck… been there done that.
