Ken - Not sure, but rather safe than sorry. On occasion, SFC finds and fixes corrupted files. Yes, OS fixes bad portions on drive, but I am fixing file structure. Chkdsk, actually check disk structure if I remember correctly, and it also goes deeper into files and fixes those too.
Assumed, if had virus, and it was cleaned, before it was fixed, file could be broken or changed, so both would try to repair file. But I am guessing on this one. Windows 10 and 11 are almost self-repairing unless bogus code present and breaks something. W11 hosed my new ASUS Claymore II keyboard and never could get it correct but then using an “advanced release”. Going to wait 6 months before updating again.
I messed around in system32 trying to get freeware plane to work and removed and or deleted some files there. I replaced them after no joy on plane but ran SFC and Chkdsk to make sure those files were still good and associated with the other processes they worked with. The suspect files is: VCRUNTIME140.dll. Never was successful on that plane. The other version works fine, the newer one has all the gauges and screens displayed correctly. Oh well, TMI.
