        Windows reps on the main support site replied with SFC /scannow to basically any topic they didn’t know how to fix.

            If you can’t open a Windows critical app like start or options or the task bar it’s usually the answer. On very rare occasion it can help with peripherals, but it should always be accompanied by system updates and dism

          sfc /scannow is to fix your Windows if it has corrupted files.

          Rebooting doesn’t, but it will reload all the files in your memory from scratch again, making it less prone to problems.

          But if the problems are that the files itself are corrupted, then rebooting will not help.
