A user reports their Windows PC is slow to boot and frequently experiences application crashes. They suspect a problem with system files. Which of the following troubleshooting steps would be BEST next step to address this issue?
The System File Checker (SFC) tool is specifically designed to scan for and repair corrupted system files, making it the best next step for suspected system file issues. While reinstalling or repairing Windows could resolve the problem, it's a more drastic step. Adding resources or rolling back updates might help in some cases but are not directly focused on system file corruption. Restoring the system to a previous point could also work if the issue occurred recently, but doesn't address the underlying system file corruption.
