scanned documents

Hello,

By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

• Press Windows and type pictures
• Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

link.

Let us know how that turned out for you.

 

Defender not Running Regular Scan


I believe you are showing the scan that is part of Automatic Maintenance. For that mine is already set to System by default. Although I do not have anything listed for author. If the scan is running for you I think that is because it is the Automatic Maintenance scan.

 

Hash key errors when running SFC Scan on PC

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand how difficult it can be when the system doesn’t work the way it is supposed to.



For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC?
   
2. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try running DISM scan and see if that fixes the issue. Kindly follow the steps below to run the scan.

1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt.
   
2. Now right-click on
   Command Prompt (Desktop app)
   and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. On the UAC prompt click on
   Yes.
   
4. Type the following command and hit enter: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
   
   
5. Once the process is completed type
   exit and hit enter to close.
   

Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.



You may also want to make sure that Windows is up to date. Refer the article
