    Don't know how to Run System File checker


    I'm trying to get a video game to work on my computer and nothing seems to work. After being in contact with the games publisher support for 3 days now, they suggested to run system file checker, I don't know how to do that. I can't make sense of the Microsoft's step by step guide they linked me. I'm hesitant to go play with the System32 files, I'm afraid I'll break something. They also suggested that if that doesn't work I should "Create a new Windows Account with admin rights and perform clean boot, then try to launch the game". It's starting to sound really ridiculous as every other game runs absolutely fine on the PC, except this one.

    Don't know how to Run System File checker

    System File Checker Problem

    The computer is not running slow and no BSOD screens. All my computer specs are listed, if anything is missing that I need to add, let me know if needed to resolve this problem.

    1st - I ran the sfc /scannow command:

    So I rebooted and ran the DISM restore health:

    It completed successfully and I rebooted. So I ran the sfc /scannow command again and it fixed the corrupted files:

    I then rebooted and ran the sfc /scannow command again and it found no violations:

    I shut down the computer for maybe a half hour and all of the sudden the sfc /scannow found corrupt files again when I ran it. The screenshot isn't necessary because we already know what it looks like from my first image.

    This is part of my CBS log that I think points to the culprit; but I'll attach the whole log for anyone that can help:
