Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to fix common Windows installation errors using the Control Panel:

Method 1: Run the System File Checker (SFC) tool

• Press the Windows key + X and select “Command Prompt (Admin)” or right-click on an empty area of your desktop and select “System”.

• Type sfc /scannow in the Command Prompt and press Enter.

• The SFC tool will scan and replace any corrupted system files with new ones from the Windows media.

• If the repair is successful, restart your computer.

Method 2: Update Windows

• Press the Windows key + X and select “System”.

• Click on “Advanced system settings” in the left menu.

• In the System Protection section, click on “Windows Error Reporting”.

• Click on “View history” to view any error reports that may be associated with your installation errors.

• If you see an error report, click on it and select “Reset” to remove it.

• Once cleared, restart your computer.

Method 3: System Restore

• Press the Windows key + S to open the Search bar.

• Type System restore in the search bar and press Enter.

• Select a restore point from which you want to go back to before the error occurred (e.g., “Windows 10, version 1809”).

• Click on the “Restore” button to start the restoration process.

Method 4: Run System Update Troubleshooter

• Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.

• Click on “Update & Security”.

• Click on “Troubleshoot” in the left menu.

• Select “Other troubleshooters” and then click on “Windows Update”.

• In the troubleshooter results window, select the “Check for other issues that might help you fix problems” option.

• Follow the prompts to run a scan.

Method 5: Boot in Safe Mode

• Restart your computer and enter Safe Mode by pressing F8 during boot.

• This will disable all non-essential startup programs and load only essential services.

• If an error occurs, you can try repairing or reinstalling Windows using Safe Mode.

Additional Tips

• If none of the above methods work, you may need to use a third-party tool like CCleaner or Reimage to scan for corrupted files and restore your system.

• Before performing any troubleshooting steps, make sure to back up your important files before making any changes to your system.

Remember that if your Windows installation is severely corrupted or compromised, it’s recommended to seek professional help from a certified PC technician.
