DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) repairs the Windows image itself, which can fix underlying problems that lead to system instability and registry errors. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run these commands sequentially: `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth`, `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth`, and `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`. The last command may require an internet connection to download replacement files.
