In this article, I will review a few ways you can scan a document using a physical scanner or the free Office Lens app for Windows 10. After all, who wants to be buried under a mountain of unsearchable paper documents?

Windows 10 – Scan Documents, Business Cards or Photos using a Scanner

Even in 2017, it’s hard to beat the quality of a dedicated document or flatbed scanner. On Amazon, Prices range from $50 to $400 depending on the features, speed etc… If you want advice, stick with the big brands like Canon, Epson or Brother. Look for the highest number of reviews combined with a high Amazon rating (4+ star) and you should be just fine. So, once you get set up with your printer and get it configured with Windows 10, it’s time to start scanning!

Windows 10 includes a built-in scan utility, which you can access from the printer context menu.

Click Start, type:devices and printer then hit Enter. Right-click your scanner or printer, then click Start Scan.

Users have several options on the screen which let you preview the document, choose a color format (color or black and white), adjust brightness, set the appropriate resolution and even choose the format you want to save it in: JPEG, PDF or PNG. If you are satisfied with the results after reviewing the document, proceed to click Scan.

Make your selections, Click Preview to ensure everything looks good then Click Scan.

After giving your scanned document a Name, add a few tags to make it easier to search for later. Click Import.

Your scanned document can normally be found in Pictures within the scanned files folder.

With each revision of Windows 10, Microsoft is slowly deprecating parts of the classic desktop and the built-in scan utility might become the next victim. Microsoft released a modern universal app you can download from the Windows Store called Windows Scan.

Depending on when you’re reading this article, the Windows Scan app might be the best place to start for scanning paper documents or photos. If you updated to Windows 10 from 8, you might even have it installed. That said, I had to blow away the app from my Windows 10 box and reinstall it from the Windows Store. Something must have been corrupted during the Windows 8 to 10 upgrade.

The interface is quite similar to the old scanning utility. You can preview your document, crop it before scanning the final document, adjust resolution, select appropriate file formats and choose your save location.

When ready, click Scan then review the scanned document.

Scan Documents, Business Cards or Photos or Whiteboards using a Mobile Phone

Although once very popular, many people just don’t buy scanners anymore. No worries, Microsoft also makes an excellent mobile app called Office Lens. We’ve written about the iPhone/iPad version in detail however it also works well on Android.

Office Lens scans photos, whiteboards, business cards, and documents quickly and easily. It’s fully integrated with other Microsoft apps like OneDrive, Word and OneNote.

It’s simple to use, just launch Office Lens, tap the scanner tab, then choose the type of content to scan. Office Lens will optimize its settings and create a frame around the document when it is recognized.

Tap the camera button to capture the file, preview the document then make further adjustments such as cropping or saving it in the desired format.

After scanning your document, there are other tasks you might want to perform such as adding a label, crop, delete it or save it for use in OneNote, OneDrive, Word or PowerPoint.

So, that’s a look at scanning documents and photos in Windows 10, both old and new. I must admit, using a dedicated flatbed scanner still remains the best choice for scanning documents; if you want the best quality. That said, it’s hard to beat the convenience and speed of a mobile combined with Onedrive. Sure, the quality might not be as good but, in most cases, it’s probably good enough.

When you begin to notice random errors, issues during boot or Windows components are not working as they should on your computer there is a good chance that one or more system files may have gone missing or corrupted.

Even though Windows 10 does a good job protecting files that are necessary for your PC to work correctly, applications, drivers, or even Windows Update may sometimes be the cause of system instability. Like in previous versions, for these situations, Windows 10 includes the System File Checker (SFC), a tiny but powerful command-line utility that can scan the integrity and replace any corrupted or missing protected system file with a known good version.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to use System File Checker (SFC) to repair any damaged system file automatically while you're running the operating system, offline using Advanced startup, and manually when SFC is unable to fix the problem.

Before you begin, it's important to note that you'll be making changes to your system, as such it's recommended to do a full backup or create a system restore point in case things go wrong, and you need to roll back.

How to scan and repair system files on Windows 10

The following command will do a full scan of the protected system files on your computer and fix any file that are causing issues while Windows 10 is up and running.

Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Command Prompt (Admin), as you will need administrator permissions to run SFC.
In the Command Prompt type the following command and press Enter:
sfc /scannow
Once the scan completes, you will see one of the following messages:
- Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations: This indicates that your system doesn't have any missing or corrupted files.
- Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation: This message means that there was a problem during the scan and an offline scan is required.
- Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%LogsCBSCBS.log: You will get this message when SFC was able to fix the problem. Now, you can move on or you can view the logs to get more details.
- Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%LogsCBSCBS.log: In this case, you'll need to repair the corrupted files manually.

Quick Tip: You may want to run the command around three times to fix all the problems.

How to view the details of an SFC scan

To see the details of a System File Checker stored in the CBS.Log file, you'll need to make a readable copy on your desktop:

Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Command Prompt.
Type the following command and press Enter:
findstr /c:'[SR]' %windir%LogsCBSCBS.log >'%userprofile%Desktopsfclogs.txt'
Open the sfclogs.txt located on the desktop with Notepad. The file will contain all the details of the scanned system files and information for files that couldn't be repaired.

Note: Details for SFC scans are only available when you do a scan within Windows, not when you do an offline scan on Command Prompt.

How to scan and repair system files on Windows 10 offline

Sometimes protected system files that need to be repaired are loaded in memory while Windows 10 is running. If this is the case, you can run SFC offline to fix your computer.

Use the Windows key + I keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app.
Click Update & security.
Click Recovery.
Under Advanced startup, click Restart now.
Click Troubleshoot.
Click Advanced options.
Click Command Prompt to boot your computer only with Command Prompt.
On reboot, you'll be prompted to enter your username and password to continue.
Whenever you need to run SCF outside of Windows, you need to tell the utility exactly where the Windows installation files are. On Command Prompt, type the following command to understand the location of the Windows and System Reserved partitions.
wmic logicaldisk get deviceid, volumename, description
Type the following command, and press Enter:
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C: /offwindir=D:Windows
Note: We're using the /offboodir switch to specify the drive letter of the System Reserved partition, which in this case is C, and the /offwindir switch specifies the location of the Windows files, which in this case is D:Windows.
Keep in mind that when you boot your computer with Command Prompt, the drive letters may be different, which is why you need to use the command on step 9. However, most of the time, when working with Windows 10, D: is usually the drive letter for the installation and C: is the letter for the System Reserved partition.
Once the scan is complete, close Command Prompt.
Click Continue to exit and go back to Windows 10.

How to repair system files manually on Windows 10

If the System File Checker couldn't fix one or more files, you will need to repair them manually.

Open the sfclogs.txt file to determine which are the corrupted files, find where they belong by doing a simple file search or use your preferred Internet search engine to get more details. Then follow the instructions below to replace the corrupted file.

Quick Tip: You can find known good system file copies on another computer running the same version of the operating system like the one running on your PC.

Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Take ownership of the corrupted system file. In the Command Prompt type the following command, and press Enter:
takeown /f C:Path-and-File-Name
Best melee dmg type for hibernia. The Spiritmaster has 3 spell-lines and therefore different playstyles.
Note: Replace C:Path-and-File-Name with the path and name of the corrupted file. For example, C:WindowsSystem32appraiser.dll.
Allow full admin access to the corrupted file using the following command and press Enter:
icacls C:Path-and-File-Name /Grant Administrators:F
Replace the file in question with a good copy using the following command and press Enter:
copy C:Path-SOURCE-and-File-Name C:Path-DESTINATION-and-File-Name
How to display dmg files on a pc. Note: You need to replace C:Path-SOURCE-and-File-Name with the source path and file name of the known good file, and you also need to replace C:Path-DESTINATION-and-File-Name with the destination path and name of the damaged file. Here's an example: copy D:Filesappraiser.dll C:WindowsSystem32appraiser.dll.
Type Yes and press Enter to confirm the overwrite.

After replacing the file, you can type SFC /verifyonly command and press Enter in Command Prompt to verify the integrity of all the system files to see if the problem has been fixed. Alternatively, if you repaired only a few files, you can test the integrity of each file by using the sfc /VERIFYFILE=C:Path-and-File-Name command (e.g., sfc /VERIFYFILE=C:WindowsSystem32kernel32.dll).

Keep in mind that you're not limited to use this utility on Windows 10, SFC is a command-line tool available on previous versions of the operating system. However, you may find different features depending on the version you're running. In Command Prompt (Admin) use the sfc /? command to list the features available to you.
