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

          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.
