Fix-My-Corrupt-Windows

My friend Juan Carter always has corrupt Windows files. This little program is designed to fix issues related to corrupt Windows files. However, it works under the pretense that System File Checker (SFC), Deployment Image Servicing, Management (DISM), and Check Disk (CHKDSK) are still functioning on your PC. If SFC, DISM, and CHKDSK are themselves corrupt, this program won't be able to help. Run the program and then restart your PC, and all should work like a charm.
