8. Scan for Virus or Malware
Scanning for viruses or malware on your PC especially on the C: drive where you installed the Windows OS on your computer is one of the most important steps for an advanced user. Sometimes a virus or malware can easily cause issues to some of the exe files or data files which become corrupted or even missing.
In that scenario, even an antivirus program can block or delete such problematic files. So, whether you’re using the default Windows Defender application or a third-party antivirus program, make sure to scan for the potential risks such as trojan, malware, virus, etc. A quick scan can also do the job sometimes.
But we’ll recommend you to use a full scan method that will deeply scan for available risks on the drive.
Please Note: This process may take some time and other processes may get interrupted as well. So, let the process be completed, and do not run any other program during this.
