Have fixed the maintenance batch script. Have a play if you like,
Mike
- When double clicking on the batch file, the script now restarts and runs as Administrator
- Alternatively: Right click on the batch file and "Run as Administrator
- Fixed option 9. Run All: Everything runs and completes in order
- (PnPClean + CheckHealth + RestoreHealth + Analyze + Clean + SFC)
- Added message to warn that restorehealth may take a while and appear to freeze at various stages and after 100.0%
1. PnPClean only
This command removes outdated or unnecessary device drivers from your system. It cleans up orphaned drivers (drivers that are no longer in use or associated with any hardware), helping to free up space and potentially improving system performance.
2. CheckHealth only
The `CheckHealth` option scans your system for corruption or issues in the Windows image. It doesn’t fix anything but will tell you whether the system has any integrity violations or corruption that could potentially affect Windows' functionality.
3. RestoreHealth only
The `RestoreHealth` option uses the Windows Update system or local repair sources to automatically fix any corruption or integrity issues found in the Windows image. It can replace corrupted system files with healthy versions, repairing system issues.
Due to the fact restorehealth /online can sometimes look like it has frozen at 100.0%, I have added a message that shows prior to restorehealth running: "Restorehealth may appear to pause at various stages and at 100.0%. Please be patient, it's working and can sometimes take a long time.."
4. RestoreHealth + SFC
This combines the `RestoreHealth` command with `SFC` (System File Checker). First, `RestoreHealth` attempts to repair any corruption in the system image, and then `SFC` scans and repairs any specific corrupted system files that might remain.
5. Analyze Component Store only
This option checks the state of the Component Store, which is the folder where Windows stores files related to updates, system components, and Windows features. It analyzes whether there’s any unnecessary data or issues, like excess update files, which can sometimes slow down your system or take up unnecessary space.
6. Clean Component Store only
This command removes unnecessary or outdated files from the Component Store. This can help reduce the size of the Windows installation and free up disk space. It doesn’t fix corruption but instead cleans up old update files, repair logs, and other unused components.
7. Analyze + Clean Component Store
This combines both `Analyze Component Store` and `Clean Component Store`. It first checks for issues or unnecessary files in the Component Store and then proceeds to clean up old and unused files, reducing clutter and saving space.
8. SFC only
The `SFC` (System File Checker) command scans and repairs individual corrupted or missing system files in Windows. It checks protected system files and replaces them with correct versions from a local cache or from the Windows installation files.
9.Run All
Runs all of the above.
10. Exit
Closes the command window
